Hi there ,this is a tyre problem we in the business call an "out of round tyre" to find which tyre it is so you can replace it ,go to each wheel and feel around the tread part of each tyre with your bare hand laying flat on the tread and feel right around each tyre ,you will find the problem tyre quite fast using this method as you will feel a raised bit on the bad tyre thats making your steering wheel shake ,a reputable tyre shop could do this for you if you dont feel capable ,then have the tyre replaced and ask them to balance all your wheels in the processand THANK YOU for using FixYa !!!

2002 Jeep Cherokee stuck in first. Left and Right Front Wheel Speed Sensors are only codes. ????

Speed sensors will only disable the abs system not keep the transmission from shifting.

I have 94 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 and I cannot drive it more then 50mph on the high way because starts to jump as if I have a flat tire it feels front right side and I have to stop then I can continue...

Typically it sounds like wheel balancing, although the speed at which it starts is just on the low side (normally 60-65 mph), but not impossible, and combine that with shock absorber problems it is quite possible.

I have a 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo. There is a "violent" vibration that occurs only when you are going 40-60 MPH and you hit a bump or pot hole on the highway. The front end begins to...

Vibration from about 40-60 mph is usually attributed to wheel balancing, but the onset when you hit a bump seems to indicate play in the steering linkages (tie rods etc) or suspension members and stabiliser bar rubbers but you had that all checked out, that brings us back to the wheel balancing.

My front wheel staggers when at speeds 40 to 50 mph.But around the speeds of 60 mph it stops. I have tried new tires but no luck.This 97 jeep cheroke is a head-ache

Get the alignment done on your vehicle and make sure all the tires are properly balanced. Look for play in the sway bar and also have the wheel bearings checked out.

Loud grinding noise (a bit like a football rattle) at the front of a 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee, dependant on road speed not engine revs, It virtually disappears in reverse. Any idea's? Thanks Pete

Hi, Going throught this one myself, I have had front diff open = OK, transfer case = OK, Auto = Ok. found out that a few have had problems with front bushes ( rubber joints) which I replaced recently, they are harder than the gen part and will vibrate causing a "drone" sound at certain speeds, particularly 40-60 kmh and 100kmh (iam in Australia).
If you have replace your bushes or thery may have become hard????

My 2000 jeep grand cherokee wobbles uncontrollably when i apply brakes at speeds of 45 and up.It also does it when i apply the brakes at the same speeds

Check your tires for broken belts. To do this, jack up each wheel and turn the wheel while watching the sidewall sighting across it from the front, for bulges, etc. do the same watching the distance between the tread and the ground. most tires have a small amount of runnout but anything over 1/4" should be looked at more closely.

Intermittent High Speed Wobble around 50 mph

Have an alignment place check your idler arms & steering links, and tie rods for play, as well as the rest of the front end. that's a dangerous thing to fool around with.
