I had my 98 cherokee classic tires rotated and balanced for the first time since ive owned it for about 5 months now. I was on my way heading to my aunt's house when I noticed massive vibrations through the steering wheel. As I increased speed the motion only got worse. What might be causing this and what can I do to stop it. I need it fixed soon this is my daily driver jeep. Did i waste my money to have this done and only get screwed over.

 

sounds like they did a bad job balancing them, id take it back and have them check it out

 

Ok, I also know i need them aligned up. Instead of my steering wheel being straight when i drive it is actually to the left 2 to 3 inches and that makes it go straight.

 

haha mines about 4-5 inches off since i lifted it, ill get around to it though

 

Did the steering wheel being off-center and the vibrations both start after the tire rotation/balancing?

 

The vibration started after the balancing and rotation and the steering wheel has always been like that.

 

Take it back to the place that did the balancing. They did not do it properly.

Make note of the speed where you notice the vibration. Tell them the speed where you noticed it.

 

I notice it starting from 35 mph on up. Mudderoy where did you get your front bumper.

That's a custom that Detours (www.detoursusa.com) built for me. I drew it up and Detours worked it out into a design. Love the bumper. I have 4 KC lights on the front now, but still need (NEED) the Superwinch epi 9.0, but I'm soooo poor. lol I'm hoping I can get it next year.

Here's a link that will tell you more than you want to know about the bumper build, lol

How much did it cost you.

 

It's a custom, and I am a repeat customer of Detours. You'd have to get the exact price from them. I estimate it is about $1000 with shipping. There is a lot of shapping and angles in this bumper. Trail Ready has one like this, but a little larger for the Liberty that is $1250.

 

Yea i cant buy one that high maybe one like urs that just has the shackle recievers.
