I have some vibrations in my front end. I have replaced pads, rotors, calipers, wheel bearings, front and rear drive shaft u-joints. The rig is a 96 XJ with 4.5" lift and 1" TC drop. Only thing i havent replaced is the ujoints on the axle shafts. anyone have any tips on how to get rid of this?

i had same problem and it was the axle u joint on the rear driveshaft, the one that is between the driveshaft and the rear grab your driveshaft and shake it if the u joint moves thats your problem

i said i already replaced all u joints besides ones on the front axle shafts. has brand new tie rod ends all around, and just had an alignment done less than a week ago when tie rods were done. tires were put on like a month ago so they should be balanced. it has the vibration all the time. just from the front end

things to check, alignment, wheel balance, Ball joints, axle U-Joints, track bar, steering stabilizer, shocks, TREs, control arm bushings. Are you on short or stock control arms?
