odd vibrations
alright so here's the gist of whats going on. around 55mph it gets an odd vibration. its not as crazy as death wobble but sometimes its pretty rough.
we just got new tires on the front and i was thinking it has something to do with that. but today i noticed the passenger side is riding much hire than the drivers side. are they related? if so what is it? id like to get it fixed asap so i dont shake my jeep to pieces.
95 cherokee country
i6 HO
4x4
nothing has been replaced on it as far as suspension or steering components. at least to my knowledge. so they're all probably rubbish.
ideas?

No idea on the ride height. Guess they are the same size at the right pressure. A wheel out of balance will often act up around a certain speed range. You might have them double check that they got that right. You could jack it up and wiggle the wheels, look for play in the linkage and bearings. By the way, the reason the spec is for a little "toe in" is to help keep it from setting up a wobble. Good luck!

this is going to sound a lil crazy but it did happen to a buddy of mine. They put the wrong size tire on. he got 3 at the right size and a 4th was the wrong size. If you can notice the ride height difference, take a look at the size and make sure all 4 are the same size or the pair matches if you have different sizes in rear...
do you have any clanking noises or humming noise???
bring it back and have them re-balance.
(i just got 4 new tires/wheels and i literally brought it back within a few hours. the balance was off on 1 causing the vibrations to appear. Problem fixed.
