2006 Jeep Wrangler Tires Problems

“I have an 06 Jeep Wrangler with the death wobble. This is an ongoing problem. I have replaced my tires three times. I took my Jeep and had three mechanics look it over today, each with the same response, I don't know what it could be. I've called Jeep several times, I replaced the steering damper as they recommended. This has been going on for years and I just don't know what else to do.”

“My Jeep experiences what's known as the death wobble. It has happened for years, but I had always been told that my tires were out of balance, or that I needed a front wheel alignment.

I took the vehicle in for service on the13th of march at ewald Jeep in franklin when they told me to replace the front tires because they were 2/32. I told them the tires have only 15,000 miles on them then they told me to see the place (pomps in racine) that sold me the tires. Pomps said I needed an alignment. …”

“I was traveling down the highway passing another vehicle on the first lane. As I was going down, I felt my vehicle pulling to the side very slightly, and at first I put the feeling off as me overreacting over something or it was just the road being a little rough. I was going at highway speed around 75mph, and eventually my rear passenger side tire ruptured effectively destroying all of the sidewall of the tire.
