Why does my 2007 Jeep Wrangler shake?
The “Death Wobble” is a byproduct of the Wrangler’s solid front axle design, and can cause the steering wheel to violently shake after hitting a bump or other road imperfection at higher speeds. The issue isn’t just a Jeep Wrangler problem though; any vehicle with a solid front axle is susceptible to the issue.
What causes a Jeep Patriot to shake when idling?
I have a 2007 Jeep Patriot Limited with about 70k miles. Bad motor mount / tranmission mount bushings can cause this. When the “rubber” (usually polyurethane) breaks down, it no longer dampens engine vibration.
Why does my Jeep Wrangler have so much vibration?
The Engine mounts, much similar to transmission mounts are designed to secure your vehicle’s engine and transmission to the sub-frame and absorb all vibration and shock caused by the detonation process and cylinder vibration happening inside the engine. They are designed to ensure the driver is unable to feel any rotational movement of the motor.
Why does my Jeep Wrangler have no spark?
The function of the balancer is to keep the rotational parts (Crankshaft) balanced, duh, and protect the engine from dangerous harmonic vibrations and potential damage. A worn out spark plug will result in a weak spark or even no spark at all, resulting in that cylinder to not detonate.
Why does my Honda Accord shake when I idle?
So at low speeds you really feel the pistons going up and down. When you go faster, the frequency of the vibration is higher and not as noticeable and/or the engine might twist and put pressure on the side of the bushing that hasn’t gone away and it gets dampened. My mom has a 1993 Honda accord with 180k miles on it.

Why does my Jeep Wrangler have a vibration at idle?
If the idle vibration is slightly rough, noticeable but not too bad, don’t make anyone have you believe its normal behavior and just a “Jeep Thing”, that’s nonsense. Some have even been told by their service mechanic that is “normal” because the valves are driven by oil and when cold, the oil understandably doesn’t flow as well.

What causes a Jeep Wrangler to wobble on the road?
Granted, an unbalanced wheel or an improperly worn tire being the cause of your Wrangler’s death wobble is less probable, but it’s certainly not impossible. Hop onto any of the off-roading forums and you’ll find a case of someone noticing missing wheel weights, getting their tires re-balanced, and their Jeep’s shakes disappearing.
