I have no idea what the hell this is, I was driving along and out of nowhere my 97 jeep was shaking so bad I thought it was going to fall apart. It has olny happend twice in two weeks. I have full control and the brakes are fine.

any ideas????????

thanks,
jamie

 

could be any number of things. first question for you is which way does it shake, back and forth, side to side, what? answer that and i might have an answer or more questions.

 

Sounds like death wobble. Make sure you dont have any slack on your front end, check your ball joints, tie rods,control arm bushings, track bar ect.

 

its like I am going over 20 speed bumps at one time...... then stops.........
sry I am asking theses ?s dumb girl trying to figure this out!

 

is there any speed it starts or stops at, ie: doesnt shake till you hit 35mph or shakes between 55-65mph.

 

around 60 or so but not all the time when I slammed on the breakes and it stops,I drive around 1 hour each way to and from work, its happend twice in 2 weeks..... its very scary! lol

thank you for trying to help me out!

 

if you know much about cars and have a crow bar you can do this yourself, if not find some who can or take it to a shop. but you want to see how loose (if at all) anything is. if anything is wiggling significantly, or something that should move is not, you probably found your problem.

you start on one end and move over, just checking all joints and connections on the front end for play or slack, and i would check your drive shafts and suspension parts as well.
