FWD 01xj with up county option, 129,000 miles. At about 30mph steering wheel develops a a high frequency/rapid shimy/shake. Is noticable at higher speeds, but not as pronounced. I swapped the spare tire onto both left and right front positions, same symptom persists. Could not find and any loose tie rod ends or steering linkage. Hub bearings do not have excessive play. Was able to tighten two flex bolts about a half a turn, but that had no affect on the steering wheel shimy. One front axle u-joint was replaced three weeks ago, but it and the other one both have normal appearance and worked fine until the shimy started a couple of days ago. Fluid level ok in front axle, transmission and transfer case. Any body have other ideas? Thanks.
