My 2000 tj has stock suspension. Occasionally, like one out of every ten times it's driven, the front end feels like it's about to fall off. Is this the death wobble you guys refer too? I wasn't sure because of the stock suspension and the rarity it occurs. If it is the death wobble how do I fix it, and if not what else could it be? Thanks in advance guys!

It happens to stock suspensions also, more frequently as they wear out. With a stock suspension it's most likely a worn/loose front track bar, and/or worn control arm bushings.

Have somebody turn the steering wheel side to side while you watch the ends of the front track bar.

Inspect the control arm bushings with a flashlight and screwdriver. Look for any tears.
