I have been fighting a wobble between 45-55 mph (and comes back aroun 75 mph a bit) for the past 3 months. It gets worse over bumps, but at about 60mph is it perfect. It isn't death wobble though, but it is a heavy wobble (like pre-death wobble). It will wobble on a perfectly flat surface with no bumps.
My specs:
2000 XJ
3.25" front (spacers + ZJ V8 springs)
3.5" rear (RE AAL)
DT3000 shocks
JKS BPEs
JKS QDIIs
JKS Track bar
Yokohama Geolander II + 255/70-16 tires
OME HD SS
Stock CAs
I think that is it.
What I have done so far:
New left side ball joints
New u-joints in axle
New TRE at pitman arm
Removed front drive shaft
Had the alignment checked 3 times (will gives specs later)
Tires have been balanced several times by different shops.
I have swapped the front tires with another XJ with stock size tires.. wobble was better but was still there. He also detected no wobble running my tires on his XJ (would pint to my suspension).
I also swapped tires with PA Highlander and he also found nothing unusual with my tires on his XJ.. but I couldn't fit his on mine.
Also, swapped tires off a brand new Liberty and the wobble went away (would point me to the tires)
4 separate shops have found nothing wrong with my front suspension.. nothing lose at all.
The dealer put the XJ on jack stands under the axles and ran it into the wobble range, but found no wobbling.
Alignment specs:
Front:
Camber: L -0.5; R -0.4
Caster: L 7.2; R 6.9
Toe: L 0.02; R 0.01; Total: 0.03
Steer Ahead: 0.00
Rear:
Camber: L -0.3; R-0.1
Toe: L -0.21; R 0.19; Total: -0.03
Thrust angle: -0.20
All the specs ate good aside from the thrust angle... that is out .05* from spec of -.15 to .15. I will be rectifying that though, but would that cause a wobble?
I think I have listed every pertaining detail.
Any suggestions?
Thanx,
Chris
