Hello, this is my first post on CC, and hopefully not the last.
I located an MJ for a fair place from a local dealer, and I planned to purchase it with my dad today. It's an 88 MJ 2WD with the 4.0 I6 and a 5 speed Peugeot. It has around 173,000 miles and has no major rust on the underbody, just a few tiny tiny spots on the tailgate and such. It has good paint. The interior is ok, but the bench seat is terrible and needs to be swapped either with a clean bench or some buckets. So I went this morning with my dad and mechanic friend, but the dealer would not sell it to us because he said it would get heavy shakes around 50 mph...with my loads of Comanche research I have done, I immediately recognized it as "Death Wobble". The dealer said he was going to get it checked out at his tire shop and see what happens. I've read up and heard all about "Death Wobble" but there never seems to be a definitive cure. My good mechanic friend could probably diagnose it but apparently it could be a multitude of problems.
So, yall, do you think we should purchase this truck even if it has "Death Wobble", and how hard is it to fix?
