2" in. lift-slight vibration?

[jtrevor33]

I'm new to jeep, 6 months now I've had my 91 cherokee. I just installed a 2" budget lift. Spacers and blocks,yes,I'm that poor. Now, if i take it up to 65 mph, I can feel a slight vibration which I can only assume is my driveline. Now, I don't need to go that fast, I just want to know if I should be concerned, and if so, what are my "budget" options?

it could be as simple as a worn ujoint or your tires arent balanced all that good

U-joints sound like a good culprit to me as well. Looks like you can get them for ten buck each at advance auto:

Here's a how-to on U-joint replacement

Welcome to the Z.

In my experience with 2" lifts, I would adjust your caster all the way out and try it again. This means adjusting the shims behind the lower control arms on the front axle, so as to push the bottom of the front axle forward.

If you want to be sure before messing with it, remove the front driveshaft and take it for a test drive. Chances are your vibes will be gone and you will know the problem is in the front.

Let us know what you find.

	Caster Caster angle is the angular displacement from the vertical axis of the suspension of a steered wheel, measured in the longitudinal direction. It is the angle between the pivot line (in a car - an imaginary line that runs through the center of the upper ball joint to the center of the lower ball joint) and vertical.
