When I drive slow, less than 5 mph, the front end of the libby shakes and makes noises, it isn't horrible, but when I turn it becomes even more pronounced. It feels like something is loose, you can feel it in the steering wheel. Once I get over 5 mph it goes away and everything is smooth. I am not the most mechanically inclined individual, so I am not sure what would cause this problem. Has anyone dealt with this, and if so can you help a brotha out?

It's an 06 Rennie if that helps at all.

Check out the wheel bearings. Jack the Jeep up so that the front tires are off the ground and grab the tire. Try to move it around and feel for any slack at all.

Go ahead and check the tie rod ends and ball joints while youre at it.

could be a broken belt in the tire as well sometimes you can feel it at slow speeds but get moving its not quite as bad, well that is until it starts coming apart :wink:
