recently i have bought a 97 xj. I took it out a few times to test drive and everything was good so i bought it.Loaded, 64,000 miles on it for $2000. Now i think i know why i got it so cheap. Got on the freeway to go to work one night and around 50-55 mph it started to VIOLENTLY SHAKE INSANELY!!!!. It scared the zannoes out of me. I let off the gas and slowed down. So now i cant drive it past 45. I can feel it wants to start doing it again, lingering evil when ever driving it.
Luckily i already had a doner xj to swap t-case from 242 to 231 and both complete front and rear axles with 4.56 and the 5.5 RE XD kit. and slip yoke e kit with new drive shaft. I even replaced the drag link and tierod. Brand new 33x12.50 mounted and ballanced and allighnment. I had the steering box at jeep checked and they said it was fine. The crazy violent shakes are gone, but feel like they r coming back slowly but surely. Everything looks good and feels good while checking for play in everything/track bar ect while stationary.
Could it be frame damage?
What do i do?
has anyone ever had this happen before?
MY JEEP IS POSESSED!!!!!
