NCHauler, higher mileage Jeeps aren't the only ones that can get death wobble. It can show up on vehicles with only a few hundred miles on them. Don't expect to see a lot of looseness. You won't be able to visually see any. You have to place a finger across the joint and have someone else move the steering wheel. If you feel ANY movement at all the joint or bushing needs to be replaced. Be sure to check the control arms as well.
By the way, the steering stabilizer mentioned by mower mech might mask the problem for a while, but it won't cure it.
Thanks for the head's up...Have never had the issue, and I hope I never do....BUT, should it occur, I now have information that I didn't before.
again, thank you,
