Hello,

2008 Sahara Unlimited death wobble only when braking at 50mph or faster. Please help. I replaced tire rode, ball joints, & center link. What else can it be?

 

[BLACKJKU]

Is it stock or lifted? Stock tires or oversized?

 

[Harrisma2]

Stock tires and not lifted

 

[BLACKJKU]

Have you checked the front unit bearings ( wheel bearings )? Is there play in the steering gearbox?

 

[Harrisma2]

No I have not.

 

[Harrisma2]

I replaced the front rotors, brake pads, and calipers and now she does wobble anymore when I break doing 50+ and then braking

Was gonna say I don't think this is a wheel or suspension problem, but a brake issue.

may have been warped rotors

My guess is warped rotors.

If you make a panic stop while doing 50 MPH plus those rotors will get very hot, sitting there while holding the brake on will let the rotors stay very hot and while the rotor cools faster than the spot under the brake pads you will get a warp. You will feel it at the brake pedal too.
