I have a 1998 Jeep Cherokee that is vibrating around 60 mph. I am unsure what to check. The wheel bearings seem tight. The sway bar bushings are not in the best shape and the tires seem ok but the right front has some missing tread around the edge. The tie rods seem tight as well as all the ball joints.The Jeep runs smooth until 60 mph. Shifts fine and the 4 wheel works well. The shocks seem to be leaking some fluid but I have never known a Jeep to vibrate like this with just bad shocks. There is no sputtering or other engine problem as far as I can tell. I also had a rough time taking off the right side tire. Please e mail me if you have any other questions, I am looking for suggestions on what to check next. staticpromo@yahoo.com

I had a high speed vibration problem on my 98 limited after I had a brake job. They did something wrong and the pads would flutter and make the front end vibrate. I took it back and they fixed it.

Just because there is no play in the wheel beairngs, doesn't mean they can be bad.

I suggest having a mechanic check it out. If you need new wheel bearings, i suggest the link below.
