Howdy BlackJack Welcome to LOST Sam's guide is a good read. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=604519#p604519 as to the vibration - no real ideas - I mean mine shakes like a diesel - but it's a diesel...so if you're familiar with those - it's relatively mild. now rattles - like engine mounts - been there - done that - but rattle - not shake and nothing that would affect a mirror. |

is the vibration all the time like at idle or only when driving at speed? If it is only while driving i would have the tires checked for balance and alignment. |

I have two CRDs, one sport and one limited. some how the limited is a bit smoother and more quite. However, on my sport the right mirror vibrates a bit at highway speeds and on my limited it is the same but on the left mirror I would advice to replace both. they cost about 90 bucks on line and they are probably one and a half hours worth of work. hope that helps any. these are the part numbers for both mounts if you need them 52129374AC 52129011AD |

Hi All; recently I purchased a 06 Liberty CRD. I have some experience with diesel engines, but only in BMW and Mercedes (early to late 80s). My Jeep acts different and I am not sure if this is normal (since I have no experience with Jeep CRD). So, here are the things that bother me: 1. You can feel a strong vibration through the seat, steering wheel and center armrest 2. The side mirrors vibrate so much that I can see only a blurry vision of the cars following me 3. The engine shakes violently upon turning off (after 3-4 minutes cool off) Any advice is appreciated. Jack

The vibration is always there, the Jeep has 68K miles on it. However, the vibration increases by speed, at 70mph the car is tearing itself apart. |

Hey Jack, First off, welcome to the group. I have found this site and group the people on it to be a braintrust of knowledge; I hope that you do as well. As to your vibration--it sounds to me like your counter-balance shafts are not working properly. If the Jeep is "tearing itself apart" any most any speed, it is more than the normal diesel vibrations or bad motor mounts. The counter balance shafts are located under the crankshaft, are driven by the crankshaft are replaced as a unit as they are not seviceable. They must also be timed to the crankshaft, setting the crankshaft at TDC. Access to them is by removing the oil pan. P/N is 05140336AA. Hope this helps. FWIW Hoosier CRD |

It might be helpful for you to post your location in your profile, there may be a local member who can drive your jeep and you can drive theirs to compare it to determine if anything is wrong. |
