" Suspention Wobble" Again

[kazam]

Greetings.

 

I almost hate that term.

 

I've an '87 MJ lifted ? a bit --- looks like home made spacers of about 1.25"

or so at the front coil springs.

I have not noticed other modifications to the suspention; maybe there is installed aftermarket springs or (I doubt it (leaf springs)).

 

It looks like a semi-stock Comanche.  It has larger 31" or so wheels on non stock (a bit more outward set)_rims.

 

This loss of control concerns me.

 

It is an I4 (Not TOO heavy up front or otherwise; there is a midbalance ( Weight ) with the truckbox containing whatnot.

 

 

Sometimes the MJ gets onto a shaking vibration where I have no or liitle front end control.

This is regular yet not regular; I too often have this front end (shaking ) take over steering and safe braking,

and I have not found a set pattern to this danger yet.

 

Most of the time the MJ tracks just fine.  It is regular that the shaking anomaly Surprises me.  Bad spots in paved roads sometimes

set off the vibrations; today I had an almost violent shaking 10+ seconds with alomost no control I coul find, coasting doen a hill where

I did not have to steer much; I got through that.

 

I'm attempting to figure out where the probrlamatic hidden danger is.

The MJ Jeep in the Avatar is the one I'm posting about.

RE: "Problamatic hidden danger".

So, I've driven this Jeep too many times to not understand that there is something not right with it.

 

That front ends' shaking only was worse today.

 

It is so that the oversized tires (mabye a bit out of balance & or (those) out of alignement just took over at a bump? today).

I do not think so because the Jeep rolls up the road well and true and in a straight line without problem usually.

 

The almost randomness of this shaking situation is problematic.

 

Thanks.

Yup. Text book death wobble. Check your bushings

I would check the trackbar first. But it could be a number of things torque all suspension bolts, check bushings, alignment, out of balance tire
