Asked by Kevin Oct 08, 2020 at 05:14 PM about the 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

What can cause death wobble to only occur when I apply the brakes at speeds of 50mph or above? Bumps do not trigger wobble only the application of the brakes @ 50mph. I've replaced the track bar, all 4 control arms, draglink end at the pitman arm, and the steering gear box.

Have you recently have any brake work done ? Sounds like may have gotten some grease on the rotors

Your front rotors are warped, they need to be machined or replaced. A smooth rotor is not an indication of a trued rotor.
