Suspension wise I am still stock, only difference is 235 m/ts. Its a 94 w/ 130,000 miles on her.
Anywho, recently (as in a few months ago) I started to get slight vibrations between 56 and 62 mph. Who cares, just speed up or slow down right? Maybe an alignment. Haven't done one since I got the car 2 years ago and have done some nice wheeling with it. Well they other day I went over a bridge on the highway on a pretty decent left turn and I thought my wheels were going to fall off or my axle was just going to unattach itself and i would do a barrel roll over the wall. The other day same thing. Lane change on the highway, right to left, this was even worse. I won't even go on the highway until i fix it. I mean it shakes up the steering column, I grab the wheel with both hands and it shakes the shit out of my whole body. When this happens I let off the gas, cry, slow down and get off the highway. When Im going down the road at any speed the steering wheel is centered and the jeep tracks straight, so Im thinking what am I checking for?
I'm gonna jack her up and check for wheel play (ball joints) tie rod? trac-bar? worn components wouldnt make that much of an effect would they? Because I know everything needs new bushings but I'm just waiting for the Full Traction 6 inch to come in. =) Can't wait.
thanks in advance
