Default death wobbles on JKU CRD manual

I jumped onto the freeway this morning and as soon as I hit 95kmph the car just started shaking including steering wheel.
it didn't stop until I slopwed down,

I got bogged lastnight and had to get pulled out, would that have anything to do with it? the car has only done 3000km

Probably just lost a wheel weight hopefully, mine wobbles at around 90kmh when wheels out of balance

Sent from a tiny keyboard with fat fingers, apologies for my spelling. .

You will need to clean off all the extra weights (mud) you have picked up.

As mentioned, clean the rims as they might have mud on them throwing the wheels out of balance. its also possible that you might have mud or water inside one of the tyres due to a bead leak which will have the same effect.

Thanks guys!! I actually do have mud in the front and rear left rims. I'll clean it off. Didn't think it would put of the steering so much!

Oh yeah, it only takes loosing a 50gram wheel weight to make it wobble! I remember my old Subaru Forester up the beach. I got a fist sized clump of sand wedged into the rim and with the design and shape it would not self clean. Hit 80ks on the hard sand and it was bouncing off the ground... Cut my hands on the stupid design stock rims trying to clean it out.
