| Post subject: | Strong Vibration at Speed |
Hello Lost! I am having a strong vibration through the entire Jeep at 45-65 MPH. Goes away once you get to 70 and does not show up before 45. It vibrates when you are accelerating but does not vibrate when not moving but reving the engine. (This makes me think its not engine related) The vibration is so strong and fast it feels like a cell phone through out the entire cabin. The vibration does not change when in 4WD high either. Any thoughts? |

Take it to a tire shop, get it on a lift, and check the front bearings for noise/play/shuffle. They're known to fail. Also next time you take a drive, when you stop check the wheels to see if they're getting heated, the calipers are known to stick too. If it's neither of those, come back and tell us more about it and we'll diagnose more. It may also be the transmission tune shudder at 55mph that you're experiencing, but 45mph seems low for that which is why I suggested you check the other things. |

Drive train probably. Could be anything from separated tire tread/balance, on thru bad CV joints to bad "U" joints, etc. |
