Death Wobble Breakdown on my Jeep Cherokee XJ Diesel
Breakdowns are inevitable sometimes and I was lucky with this death wobble incident as I was going fairly slow and a pull-in was nearby.
Since I installed a new trackbar and fabricated an over the pumpkin mount everything has been fine. Gradually over the last three weeks I have had a slight wobble in the steering which resulted in death wobble.
In this video I attempt a trail repair which fails. I do manage to get home and do a proper repair on the setup which means I can get back out camping and exploring.
Thanks for watching.
