Jeep wobbles

[Stalefishsk8er]

Hey guys I have been driving a jeep Cherokee for awhile now and I've been getting some wobbles at 35-40mph, do you guys know what might cause that?

If it's a bad enough wobble that you have to come to a near stop to get it to end, search the forum for death wobble. If it's merely a vibration you can easily drive through, it's likely a tire balance issue or possibly a bad ujoint.

How old are your tires? are they balanced?
do you have to stop in order to stop the wobble?

The tires and wheels don't wobble it's just the actual body of the vehicle that wobbles

check front shocks make sure top bushings are good and tight on tower that would cause body to shake a lot I had that issue 9 years ago on my 88

Ya I would say it's gotta be something with the shocks or coils, the normal death wobble is a suspension wobble not a body wobble lol

I too have a wobble/vibration on my 87 wagoneer, and it was the same issue with my 92 cherokee. Mine only does it between 45 and 55 mph...otherwise its completely smooth. Any thoughts?
