Title: Shaking in front end between 70-80km/h
Post by: Jester on December 26, 2006, 07:11:11 PM

Hello people, I am new to the Jeep world although I have driven big 4X4 in the past and present (military) and I have an odd shake.  I just purchased 4 31inch tires and had them put on.  I didn't balance them yet but I drive straight and smooth up to 70kms and after I pass 80km or so.  If I keep a lower gear/higher rpms it also minimizes the problem..... suggestions?

Newsed lol, I plan on it tomorrow inbetween sleeps but just wanted to make sure it was nothing else.  I got them from a trusted place in Med Hat called Taylor's.  He is awesome and I trust the tires but balancing didn't happen, must have been close to closing!

Thanks for the reply.

You get one guess what 100% of people on this site are going to tell you to do.

I was hoping for original thought or for someone to tell me it was a normal Jeep thing.  I had the balancing done today and I still got a bit of a shake around 80km/h.  Hoping it isn't alignment or steering as when I bought it, the steering was fine.  Could also be the tires have a flat spot.  I was just hoping someone would give me a really cheap solution LOL.
