What should you do if your Jeep wanders?
Some vehicles can wander so bad that it actually causes a pulling sensation to the left or right when you have your hands on the steering wheel. Check the tire pressure on your Jeep and make sure all four tires are properly inflated. If the wandering persists, more investigation is needed.
Why is my Jeep wandering in one direction?
Take the Jeep out for a test drive. Test driving the Jeep can give you some clue as to the source of the wandering problem. Accelerate to approximately 35 mph and let go of the wheel. If the vehicle makes a sudden veer in either direction, then you probably have an alignment problem.
Is there such a thing as death wobble in a jeep?
One of the biggest myths regarding death wobble is that all stock Jeeps are immune, and only lifted Jeeps are affected. This is absolutely not true, as any solid front axle vehicle can get death wobble under the right conditions. However, those who have recently added suspension upgrades usually are more likely to experience death wobble.

When does the death wobble start in a jeep?
So just because you own a Jeep does not mean you are going to be affected. However, if it does happen, it usually starts when one tire hits a groove, pothole, or some other bump in the pavement at speeds around 45 miles-per-hour – or even after a heavy tap on the brake.
