Slow down...




On the real what have you done to it recently. Did make any adjustments to the front. Did you hit a curb what not. New tires... rotate old tires...

More info is needed to help. Most common problem is tires need balancing.

i had that problem before too but we cant really help if we dont know what kind of vibrations it is because cherokees have a couple of vibrations. what happened to mine is i jumped my cherokee five feet high and when it landed it busted all the barings in the front axel and it also destroyed the bushing and pivit joint in the traction bar. so if you get your wheels balanced and it still does the vibrations you might want to check out your wheel barings and your traction bar. let us know what you find????

I can say from experience warn out wheel bearings, ball joints, track bar bushng, and tie rod ends can all cause front end vibes as well as out of round wheels and bad tires..so lots of possibilities like the others have said..

Yeah but I get the feeling he's not in the US so internet access might be difficult for him..also could be time zone differences..

I got the same feeling. Especially the part about his country boiling now. I think we may need to give him a day or two to respond.
