hi guys, took my jeep camping this weekend.. well it did great untill we got on the road and hit about 45 it started shimmying and vibrating and the faster you go the worse it got when you hit about 50 it's so bad the whole trucks shaking... any ideas?? the jeep only has about 2 inches of lift.. im so lost.

 

Got any mud stuck on the inside of the wheel?

 

yeah... but they are stuck on all of em.. i think it might be more to it than that.. but it never hurts to try lol

 

I know it sounds simple, but did you check to make sure you didn't knock the balancing weight off the tire?

 

+1. I was going to say the same thing. It is such a simple thing to fix, that most people forget about.

 

could also be your alignment. it wouldnt hurt to read this either-

might have broken a belt

 

????????

I don't see how a broken belt would cause that type of shimmy. Plus, it has a serpentine belt doesn't it? Soooo if you have a broken belt, well you would notice it REALLY quickly if I am correct.

 

He saying a tire belt.........

 

If that is what he meant, then ok.... but... I dont know.

 

well. its not a wheel bearing and yes the tire weights are still on. it doesnt feel like an out of balance tire. it doesnt do it everytime sometime it waits till 60mph to do it. im thinking steerin stab or somethin

 

Get the tires balanced, 60mph is the prime time for a tire balance issue to happen.

 

Ever use fix a flat?

Trac Bar(bushings, angles, bolts), Axle Mounts, Tie Rods, Caster Angle, Control arm bushings, Steering box bolts/spacer, Frame(cracks in frame could make steering box feel loose), Damaged steering stabilizer, Bad ball/u joint, drive shaft not balanced, bad front hub, idler arm.

Check those.

 

to the best of my knowladge no fixaflat lol an thats alot of stuff to check haha. tightend the steering box and cleaned all the mud out of that wheel. not sure if it helped yet
