I hit a good size hole, ever since vehicle shakes in the front
Hey guess this is my first post. This isnt a death wobble post, but here goes. I have a 99 XJ 4.5 RC Lift, RE Track Bar,RC Steering Stabilizer, new passenger side wheel bearing, rebuilt dana 30. Ok thats out of the way. I got the Jeep aligned, it was driving great. I drove it 500 miles to the beach fine...I hit a hole someone dug on the beach at night with only the front passenger side. Ever since it pulls again alittle to the right, but shakes alot now. The weight on the tire is still there. The steering feels alittle sloppy now. The shake gets progressively worse at higher speeds. I have checked the suspension its seem ok. Should I concentrate on rebuilding the ball joints, tie rods?? I thought it may just be wheel bearing on driver side maybe..What to do??

check your track bar jack it up where the front is off the ground. grab the track bar and see if you can move it. i broke bolts one day and didn't know it and it did you same thing to me. all so if your steering has gotten more slippy you might what to look into a new steering box as well. you might of broke a tooth on a gear. if the ball joints where gone or going you where start to fill death wobble, but would not be a bad idea to change out

along with others have said, check your control arm bushing and check the CA itself to make sure its not bent. Can also check the tie rod ends by droping them. You said the weigth is still on the tire, but may be worth it to swap it from front to back and see if its the same or moves to the back.
