PLEASE HELP...
So...ive got a 96 cherokee 4x4 4.0l 6cl w/ a 3 inch lift, w/31 10x50's.....when im driving down the road, when ever i hit 47 mph. The front passenger side tire area starts to shake...only for a sec. If im on a straight away...but if i hit any type of bump in the road, anything to throw it off, it starts shaking pretty bad. I have to down shift pretty abruptly, to slow down to around 35-40 or less to level it out, then it's ok...or if im going around a left turn when all the weight is on that side, then its the same thing...now i just put a brand new bearing/hub on two days ago, and drove it about 200 miles or so it seemed to be better for a bit, but now its pretty much the same...the alignment is off a bit, and the tire on that side has a little less tread, and is angled a bit, highest tread to the outside...not much though? Could this alone be my issue? If not, then what could it be? Everything else seems fine...could something be bent or broken on that side, that possibly im overlooking? Its a pretty bad shake! Enough to make me pull over a few times! Thanks, any help would be great!!!

Have you tried switching the tire with the right rear and see if it helps? It might be as simple as a warped wheel or wheel weights that have been slung off.

Sounds like you have the DWobble, if all components are in good shape and not sloppin about, consider trac bar extension thru getting an adustable or drill a fresh hole about 3/4" to divers side (and about 1/8" up) and shift the oem over. Also you may need more caster, add shims at the back of your lower control arms. Have you had the alignment done since the lift? Check your toe, set it in 1/16 to 1/8"
