Did I do something wrong?
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.

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.

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.

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.
