“Mark Chernoby” - THIS close to being a disaster.

Interesting that they NIC’d it twice to go from AC to AD to AE, means AD didn’t work right either.

Ford has had the same problem on the F250/F350 as well

Is it still a Jeep if it doesn’t death wobble?
These things can wobble even with completely aftermarket front ends, so I highly doubt a different damper can completely prevent it. Thankfully I’ve never experienced it.

It’s kind of a solid front axle thing in general.

Swapping out the damper usually just band aides DW. Some folks go as far as having two of them to help control DW. Normally though, its just the front suspension or the track bar ends wearing out. It happens on a SFA vehicle.

Not great, not terrible.

I don’t know why they even bothered showing a pic of the two dampers next to each other. There’s nothing to see but the part number. Not very confidence-inspiring.

They could have pulled a Toyota and threw their supplier under the bus

3 things that worked really well on my 07' Wrangler to eliminate wobble.
1) K eeping the front to back rake angle made the biggest difference for me. I initially lifted both ends 2.5". Then dropped the front down to 2". All the difference in the world in terms of highway driving. Felt normal again.
2) Dual steering stabilizer really made a difference in the city drivability. Made the suspension much more “peppy” and less wallowy.
3) Change all the sway bar links to have much stiffer joints.
Once I did the suspension fix I only had wobble once, and it was in the city; never again after the dual steering stabilizer.
I had a ton of other stuff going on eventually, but those were the things that killed the DW.

Can confirm. Especially considering that FCA does not like to change part numbers unless absolutely necessary since it’s just more paperwork usually and more delays in getting a design released

Some one had to catch hell when they spun the 2nd CN.

I didn’t even notice the NIC’d comment, you clever clever “also knows the inner workings of FCA releasing part numbers person” you......

Several years as an AE for Tier 1s working with FCA before I moved to the aftermarket side of the world.
