No, there wasn't side to side movement and the jeep went in the direction I pointed it in. It might be my explanation that is at fault, I've never experienced anything like this. It seemed like it made a lot of noise but the motion was just a really strong shaking, not a definite side to side...

Thanks for your input. I have to wonder if the situation you describe as "death wobble" (creepy name, probably very descriptive) is really applicable here, not saying I know it's not...just wondering...I didn't have any trouble steering it off the road, never have had anything remotely...

come on folks...you're killing me here.....how 'bout map sensor?

I've posted before about this vehicle so I guess one could go back for the specifics but here's sort of a chronology: Purchased in December '13-no maintenance records, 200K miles. 2 months later started with misfires when running, check engine light comes on O'Reilly says replace oxygen...

Thanks! I'll pass that along to the mechanic tomorrow morning

Help! 96 Cherokee 6 cylinder. check engine lite comes on, I go to O'Reillys and they pull the codes off it and tell me it's the oxygen sensor. Have the local shop replace it. They pull the codes and tell me it's misfiring on all 6 cylinders. I had no problems starting it, even when it was...

A while ago I wrote in about a 1996 GC Laredo which was having starting problems. It had started with the fob failing to open the doors. Turns out the battery was deader than a doornail. I replaced it with a brand new battery but it was still dead, wouldn't start, wouldn't even turn...

Oh man I hate when this happens...I don't know if the old seats are still available I'll have to call the guy who took them out. It sounds like I may have to look for '96 seats? Yipes :???: Thanks for the info anyway!

Me again, 1996 grand Cherokee Laredo. It needed new front seats. Found two great ones in a salvage yard from a 1994. The salvage yard pulled them for me, I picked them up and had them put in yesterday. Here's the problem: When the old seats came out the seat belt latch was attached to the...

okay, replaced old battery with brand new one. Cleaned connections. Interior lights come on, radio,all accessories seem to be working .....still will not start. Fob doesn't work at all... I can manually lock or unlock doors but it still will not start. If the electronics in the fob have...

Recently purchased 1996 grand Cherokee Laredo. Hasn't had good cosmetic care but mechanically not too bad. 1) couple of days ago went out to unlock and start. Fob wouldn't unlock it. Nothing...nada...just no response at all...so I'm thinking it (fob) needs new batteries. I get them...

I can't find a "lever" for 4wd. I owned an Explorer and it had a toggle switch to shift it into 4wd as did the Expedition I had years ago. This one doesn't have any sort of additional "lever". I know what the lever is like in a Jeep Liberty, is it something like that? There is a button with...

Hi everybody, am looking at a 1996 grand Cherokee Laredo. It's in pretty decent shape so far, going to have a mechanic look at it in the next few days. Needs some trim pieces replaced. Is there an online site where you can get trim pieces at a decent price or should I haunt a salvage lot? Am...
