You have fun, you break stuff....you will just have to climb underneath it and have a look around.

Almost 100% not the anti sway bar links.

Feel free to copy these and use them as needed.

That's a fact!!
The only way you're gonna find what you're looking for is to GO LOOK!

Around the Jeep that is. In these parts, we call it "noggin pokin".

That's where you use your God given senses to inspect YOUR Jeep for problems. We can only provide you with guidance as to where to poke your noggin.

There's no Silver Bullet cure you're gonna find from a keyboard, mouse and monitor.

Irresponsible posting

Ya know, we're here to help folks solve their issues.

We're NOT here to spread BS and untruths that could possibly waste another member's time money, and resources.

Not only do uninformed and irresponsible posts like that cause possible grief to the original posters, it wastes the time of others who have to correct the information.
***************

The “this worked for me” advice.

Try some diagnostics on your own to determine the cause. Just because my ride does ____________ and I did __________ to fix it, should actually mean nothing to you, unless of course you just like wasting money.

***************

Why is it that those of you who HAVEN'T done something are telling us that HAVE done something, that it doesn't work the way we have experienced by actually HAVING done it?

****************

I'm afraid explaining to you would be like playing chess with a pigeon.

It wouldn't matter how skilled I am, the bird would knock over the pieces, crap on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

In your attitude, you are very similar to such a bird.

Why should I bother with structured examples, when it's clear that you won't debate, but instead disqualify without reason.
*********************

Thanks for your post.

We’re here to help, but you must understand that all Jeeps are not the same.
In order for us to give you more accurate advice and help, we must know the following, as applicable, along with detailed information as to the symptoms/problems etc:

It scares many people to work on their jeep. They just want the answer handed to them.

Not you OP,

Props to the guy who mentioned checking for mud in the brake discs. That was clutch, the slots between each side of the discs were absolutely caked with mud, I cleaned them out and the vibration went away. Thanks!
