Front end noise
 

I have a 1997 Jeep Wrangler, and there is noise coming from the front
end, which sounds kind of like a bad wheel bearing. When I am on the
highway (especially on a right curve) and hit a bump, the steering
wheel shakes back and forth. Sometimes it's real bad, to the point
that the whole jeep starts shaking. Any suggestions on what this could
be?

Thanks,
Jon

Not so fast, Mike. It could just as easily be a bad wheel bearing.
