jeep wrangler shaking

mton2633

When driving 55 mile per hour and you let off the gas the vehicle starts shaking. It only happens at this speed. Any ideas?

Mr_Shiftright

tires or wheels are inbalanced, out of round, bent, etc. are most likely. Also possible is a very servere misalignment of the front end (caster way out, I believe, would cause this).

tie rod? bent rim, out of balance tires, bad springs/shocks

bent drive shaft?

Mr_Shiftright

Not a tie rod or driveshaft, neither would be that speed specific I don't believe. Usually, very speed specific vibrations are balance related, except for the caster thing (like when you push a supermarket shopping cart too fast sometimes.)

Check the steering stable-izer. If bad it will give you symptoms of tires being serverly unbalanced. Typically occurs over rough road, but could be speed dependant as well. -- ~$70, dealer part

Yep, that's a good suggestion.
