Hello,

Can someone help me trace down some very annoying vibrations I'm getting when braking? It happens right around 20mph then goes away around 10mph.

So far I've changed:

1. Brakes (Front and Back)
2. Rotors
3. Inner Tie Rods
4. Outer Tie Rods
5. re-Balanced All Wheels
6. Stabilizer Bar bushings

And I'm still getting the vibrations. This is very annoying! Very Annoying! What else can be causing this?

Steering stabilizer??

Where's this?

rayharris46

it is a shock absorber tied to your steering linkage under the car.

bbbngowc

Cool. I was also thinking perhaps to changes the shocks? They don't look bad, but may be?

rayharris46

Don't know about the shocks. I would try taking it to a shop and let them check it out. You might also have them look at your tie rods.

Another possibility is if your U-joint wasn't installed properly it could cause the type of vibration you describe.

You know, I was also thinking U-Joints. I changed them in my mustang last year and they came lose while driving. Scary stuff, the entire drive shaft fell to the ground. Good thing its a 5 speed.

My jeep is a 98, perhaps it's time to change the u-joints.

Going shopping for parts to swap out tomorrow.

On the shopping list:

rear axle u-joint
steering dampner
shocks/struts

Anything else can cause the vibrations I'm getting?

Did you check the steering shaft joint for loosness or wear?

Is this vehicle lifted?

New Jeep??

bbbngowc

I am getting some play in the steering wheel. But that's always been there. These vibrations just started about 2 months ago.

bbbngowc

Nope.

bbbngowc

Nah, it's a 98.

bbbngowc

Changed track bar and u-joint. Still getting vibrations. What's next?
