    2000 Disco "death wobble"

    What might cause the steering wheel and front end to wobble? It only wobbles between 45-51 mph. I have tried air pressure adjustments and tire rotation.

      Sounds like just a tire out of balance.

        I had the same problem at the same speed range on my '04 Disco. Rotating and balancing the tires solved the problem.

                Had the same thing

                Happen to me. Came in to get a flat fixed. Ended up replacing the tire but they never balanced it. At about 45 mph, thought my Disco was going to come apart.

                  Mine did that while braking

                  Mine did that while braking really bad. Found out that my tires were squaring out when weight shifted to front end. Doesn't really sound like your problem, just thought I'd share.
