'92 Jeep Cherokee, Front End Shakes
Q:
My
92 Jeep Cherokees front end vibrates like I've got a puncture
@ 60 mph when I take a little "hole" (tires, tire balance and
shock absorbers are OK)..........P.Giumelli
A:
Check
the steering stabilizer. The steering stabilizer looks like a shock but
is mounted on its side and is connected to the steering linkage. A weak
steering stabilizer can really send the front end, of not only Jeeps but
many 4 wheel drive truck type vehicles, into gyrations that would have
the driver thinking the tire was flapping down the road.
