Wobble, shaking
2000 it used to shake after 60 mph, I got new tires all 4 rebalenced alignment, now the shaking will begin befor 60 most of the time
it is not a constant thing. What could it be? Should I yank the drive shafts off and have them balensed or could it be the rims???

Re: Wobble, shaking
So you have 4 new tires, balanced, and had the front end realigned?
If so, you may want to look into a new steering damper. Old Man Emu is the one that's recommended.

Re: Wobble, shaking
Fred says that because OME is a good reseller of Jeep aftermarket equipment...usually superior to factory...
But you can buy a dealer part if you want.... Your problem is tire balance, alignment, or that part...

Re: Wobble, shaking
From having a read in these forums of all the Jeep folks that have needed a new steering damper, the OME is the one that they end up with. Some had problems that a factory one didn't fix, but the OME did. Just a recommendation.

Re: Wobble, shaking
Do a search on this site for Death Wobble.
Many XJ's get a severe shake, wobble etc from the front end for various reasons. Generally, the front suspensions/steering design of this Jeep is vary unforgiving of wear/looseness in many components.

Re: Wobble, shaking
If they did an aligment, caster/camber and toe than your problem should be taken care of. however, if the alignment wasn't done either correctly or just the Toe was set, then this problem will still exist. WHen the technician drove the vehicle before the adjustments were made he/ she should have noticed it and inspected the entire front end to verify that there weren't any loose / worn parts. I would try the stabilizer but if it doesn't fix it than take it back to whom ever did the aligment. Also, most anymore the aligments are done with computers. so that means that they should have a print out of before and after measurements. Request it, if anything, have them put the Jeep back on the machine, get the readings for you,( takes about 15 minutes) then post them here and we can deliberate this further. Good luck.

Re: Wobble, shaking
The factory steering dampner isn't sufficient enough especially when you put bigger tires on it. Get a beefy one.

Re: Wobble, shaking
Hey all..
All posts are good....I have had DW... There is no one thing...it is always something that is too loose that sets it off. I have never seen it in anything but the Jeep XJ and so I have heard the YJ (Wrangler) stuff.
