    Front end shake?


    Jeep Wrangler shakes a little between 50 and 60 mph. Any suggestions?

    Tires out of balance. Try swapping front with rear

    May be the beginnings of the infamous "death wobble". Mine was cured by
    a simple wheel balance. I've heard other more horrendous fixes have
    been needed.


    Just google "death wobble Jeep"

    new steering stabilizer does wonders...if yours is oem and over 50K, replace
    it!

    A bad Caster and Toe-in combo can make for a very unstable front end
    with big tires. If that is the cause, a stabilizer is a weak bandaid for it.

    If there is a bad caster problem on a Jeep, you've got troubles, there is no
    caster adjustment.

    Actually is can be done but it takes some work and the kind of work
    needs depends on the front end design.

    Solid axle, upper and lower ball joints. Caster sleeves weren't available
    last time I checked, neither is the software within the Hunter, JCB, Bear,
    or FMC to make caster adjustments.
    You must be talking about "back yarding" a fix. Like shims under the spring
    perches, but that adversely affects pinion angles.

    Not sure I would call them backyard fixes because lots of time the front
    axle needs to be tipped forward anyway and that helps pinion angle, it
    does not hurt it.

    Tipping the axle forward would make the caster situation worse.
