At what speed does it vibrate?

Is it a constant vibration or does it happen sporadically?

Also, try shifting down and driving the jeep down the road; does the vibration still occur at the same speed?

Give as much info as possible on your questions. These people on this forum have more knowledge than you'll find anywhere else. Good luck!

Had the dreaded death wobble not too long ago. Mine is still stock though. Steering dampener was my culprit. I've heard horror stories though. Best of luck.

i have jus learned to live with since its just my weekend toy but if its ur daily driver i suggest to check ur suspension for worn out parts (anything that has play) and even tires needing alignment could contribute to this problem ... above all drive precautiosly
