Title: Shake at 80kph
Post by: getdirty on July 22, 2010, 07:26:09 AM

Hi guys, i need some advise for my 08 jk. I  ran over a big rock at around 140kph. Now it starts to shake even just driving here in the city.
Is it just alignment problem or could be more? Im also wondering if i can apply the warranty for this problem.  :-\

Thanks.

i was on my way to edmonton, i dont know but seems like every car was on that avg speed that time and some car were really going faster.

ok  ill see if tire swap will work and take the vibes. would you recommend  wheel alignment?

Do one thing at a time otherwise you won't know what the real issue is.

There's nothing wrong with running on the 2 at 110, or maybe 115/118. There's this nice big wide lane on the left hand side fr people to go around you while giving you the finger :)

i didn't know jeeps can go that fast!


why not take it to a dealership? 08 = warranty doesn't it?  i mean you were driving on the highway, not a trail.
