With the Government? Sigh....More jeep owners need to make an issue of this problem with the government so that Jeep will take action before people get killed.
FWIW, the rental I got while my Liberty was in the shop was a brand new Patriot with 7K miles on it, and it handled worse than my Liberty before the repairs.
I am pretty sure the modern Jeeps fall into this category, it seems that most if not all cars have front end components that are not able to be greased. I know the seals are better, so for a person that would never take the car to get greased, the sealed ones probably last longer. But if a person was disciplined enough to keep up with regular maintenance, the components that can be greased would last a lot longer. For a while front end components had plugs you could unscrew and install zerk fittings. My last 4 or 5 cars could not be greased at all.
Glad Snapdragon is getting fixed up. Lots better to get it fixed now than to wreck a car and have it towed in to be fixed.
Nothing on my wife's Saturn could be greased. Even aftermarket replacements lacked the fittings. My Jeep TJ and my GMC truck have fittings on pretty much every major joint. I hit 'em with the grease gun at each oil change.
Glad the dragon is getting fixed up and back on the road.
With the Government? Sigh....
All solid front axle vehicles are susceptible to "death wobble". It is an artifact of that design. One reason why so many manufacturers have moved to something else. Ford, Dodge, and Jeep all (may) have this issue. The "fix" is usually keeping wear items in good repair, and keeping any adjustments within spec.
The last "death wobble" I dealt with was from a bent control arm. The one before that was a worn track bar bushing. Before that, a completely out of spec alignment. Every time there has been something pretty obvious as the issue. Not yet seen a problem in an otherwise well maintained vehicle. Just my experience...
