Okay, I have been away from this BBS for a while now because I don't drive the cherokee anymore. :bawl: I have a long story, but gist of it is that I had a 2000 XJ for a few years. While I had it I put on a 3.5" rubi. sus. lift. I went off to school this past fall, and my mom decided she liked the jeep. She gets it, and I took the lift off and got new street tires. Now that the lift is off the jeep has a pretty substantial vibration that starts about 62-3 mph. I am not sure if the vibs go away at any higher speed. I am also not sure if it made the noise with the lift on because the tires were so load. We have taken the XJ to two or three tire shops to get it looked at, and had an alignment done since the lift was taken off. One tire place said the two front wheels were bent so we got new front wheels. The tires have all been balanced and all the bolts have been retorqued, and the jeep still has the vibration.
Now I am leaning towards something wrong with the driveshaft or possibly a u-joint. Does any of this bs sound plausible, and how can I tell if it is a u-joint failure? Does anyone have any suggestion or similar problems? Thanks in advance,
Mike
