06' Armada Death Wobble?

[andrewjetmitchell]

OK, well I stole that name from my 97' Grand Cherokee, but they have the same problem. My 06' Armada is like 6 months old for me since I bought it and when hitting a pot hole 40-50-60 mph it gets a big shimmy in the steering wheel?? Common prob? Any fixes out there? Jet

It's likely a bit of bumpsteer, which if you are riding at stock height should not be noticable to any measurable degree if everything is working right.

Could be your shocks. Especially if you are running heavier wheels and/or tires. When I upgraded to some BFG A/T KO's on the Titan, I had a lot of excess wheel movement over pot-hole like stuff. The stock shocks are quite weak. I upgraded to some Bilsteins and its much much better, but it still appears I need a little bit stiffer spring rate to handle the extra mass of the tires.

You should also make sure nothing is excessively worn or any nuts and bolts aren't loose.
