This was answered before..here is the link. But in short I would recommend checking out this website http://www.kevinsoffroad.com/techarticle This guy has been wheeling grand cherokees for along time now and has a whole writeup on what the causes are and how to go about fixing them. I would also recommend checking out these two forums http://www.jeepsunlimited.com/forums/for and http://www.nagca.com/forum/
In case you don't know the 93-98 Grand Cherokee's are commonly referred to as a %26quot;ZJ%26quot; in the offroad world and both forums have specifics sections for them. The NAGCA (North American Grand Cherokee Assoc.) has some really good write-ups and fixes as well but I found Kevin's Offroad to be the most helpful when I had my DWHow to fix death wobble?
Could have warped rims or warped or damaged tire belts , or the vehicles tires need balancing and even the wrong amount of air can cause such issues.If a ball joint or bearing or drive axle was loose or going on it that could cause such issues too, plus if other parts of the suspension can cause such problems.
You need to jack it up and place it securely with wheels supported on stands and then check the wheels , try hold them at 12 and 6 o clock and then pull and push on the wheel and see if any play , if so look under the vehicle and see if you can notice anything moving when the wheel is pushed etc.Do the same thing at 9 and 3 o clock, then put it in neutral and see how smoothly the tire spins and listen look for something rubbing or grinding.
Remember bad brakes can cause wobbling issues too like warped rotors etc.Also look for parts that have a rubber boot see if the boot is worn or is ripped or is turning funny or has too much play in it's cv joint etc.
Hope that helps and best of luck.By the way if it's the rotors etc you should feel it especially at higher speeds and when you go to brake, plus look for places that might require lubrication and for areas that oil etc might have leaked onto rubber bec oil rots out rubber can cause cracking etc too.How to fix death wobble?
Last year i lifted my 97 wrangler 4%26quot;. I got a death wobble so bad i almost rolled it going around a turn. So i went to a 4wd shop and they hooked me up with a new steering stabilizer (it looks like a shock located in front of the front axle). The bigger and heavier tires need a beefier and stronger stabilizer. Once i got this i never got a death wobble again.How to fix death wobble?
The most common cause of death wobble is a bad track bar. It is usually worn at the frame end. Sometimes even a new track bar will have enough play to allow wobble making trouble shooting a pain. Get your replacement bar form a reliable source.
