Americas Death wobble at 90-100km/h

[constantin]

I have a 2024 Grenadier with a post-market Fox stabilizer bar, odometer 8300km.

Yesterday, while driving on a highway at around 90-100km/h, I hit a moderately-sized pothole and the car went into a prolonged wobble, I had to use all my force and nerves to keep it straight and brake. Luckily I was on the right lane. I returned home driving at less than 90km/h, nothing happened afterwards.

Is it a case of death wobble? Solutions? I bought the car new last autumn and haven't even drove it offroad yet...

Thank you all for any infos,

Constantin

You should get the car inspected to see if the pothole has damaged anything. That is abnormal in a new vehicle and a Grenadier in good working order and maintained should not suffer it.

If you have the non adjustable FOX then it's likely just a perfect storm. Get the FOX ATS adjustable and run on the stiffer side of things. Or worst case get a factory stabilizer.

People don't want to admit it but he Grenadier does have a tendency to death wobble in the right situations. I used to to joke about why Ineos chose such a heavy steering stabilizer, but I am afraid the real reason is a bit more troubling. Regardless, death wobble is ultimately tameable on the Grenadier.
