I'm out of ideas on this one , I have a 97 ZJ that shakes while going over 60 sometimes. It does not shake all the time. I have no clue what it could be. I was thinking maybe tires but it dosent shake all the time. Serious responses only

Where do you feel it? In the steering wheel, seat, or all over? How is the alignmrnt? Old tires? Bent drive shaft?

At that speed its probably either the alignment or your drive shaft. I used to have a truck do the same thing and couldnt figure it out, then my u joints pretty much disentagrated going doin the interstate. Then it hit me that there was my problem.

A little more info please. Is it a crazy scary shake, in the steering wheel, in the seat. If you have fulltime 4x4 v8 it could be the T-case side of the front driveshaft is going bad tis a ball and socket type thing.
