when i start my jeep the shifter shakes from side to side, i was wondering if it is possibly a broken motor mount that would let it do this?

88 Cherokee Pioneer dana 44
Front end all tight.
Driving fine (35 mph) then all of a sudden VIOLENT shaking. Did this until got down to 5-6 mph then stopped did this 4 times in 200 miles (had to get home).
Transfer case and rear differential (dana 44) hot to touch about 120 fareinheit.
Changed transfer case fluid (had half as much fluid as it was supposed to and it was burnt up) changed differential fluid (needed changing but was full) checked and greased u joints (changed them not to long ago). Drove ten miles and diff and trans case still getting hot. Don't know if fixing this prob will fix bouncing problem any ideas?

If you use the jeep every day replace the steering damper to stop it from wobbling and then investigate steering linkage and track bar mounts for worn ends.

Thanks and Happy Father's Day to all you Dads out there
You have still a tight engine, don't worry.

The coil springs differ (slightly, and only in spring rate) according to engine and tranny type, so if it's the same set they prolly are exactly the same.

Thanks, this is a great thread idea.

TeraFlex Front Swaybar Quick Disconnects for 84-01 Jeep® Cherokee XJ & Grand Cherokee ZJ with 2-4" Lift $132.99


Or other?

After much research I decided to lay down the scratch and get the TeraFlex. Just thought I would follow up.
