Problem overview

Some Jeep Gladiator owners report experiencing a front end death wobble, particularly in models from 2020 to 2022. This issue typically manifests as intense and rapid shaking of the vehicle's front wheels, which is often felt through the steering wheel. Many owners have described violent vibrations affecting the entire front axle and tires, especially when encountering bumps or uneven surfaces, with the problem frequently occurring below 60 mph. Some drivers have found it necessary to decelerate rapidly to stop the wobbling when traveling at speeds around 70 mph. To address this issue, some owners have opted to upgrade various front-end components, including control arms, tie rods, ball joints, track bars, and steering stabilizers. While the exact cause of the death wobble is not universally agreed upon, it is suggested that defective or incorrectly adjusted front-end components may contribute to the problem. Additionally, resolving the true death wobble may require adjustments to restore factory rake and trail numbers, as other factors like wheel imbalance, tire wear, or worn bushings and steering components can also lead to front-end vibrations.
