Help, Vibration at 55 mph...
 

Hello.
I have an 88 Cherokee Laredo that has a vibration from about 35 mph on up.
Gets worse at about 55-65 mph. The whole Jeep shakes. I've replaced the
steering stabilizer, front U-Joints, and front lower control arm bushings in
an effort to solve this problem. I also had the alignment checked and the
tires balanced. The vibration is still there. It's the type of vibration
that seems like a classic tire balance issue, but I've already tried that
and it was fine. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I
don't know what to check next. Please feel free to share your ideas and
thoughts on how to solve this problem. Thanks.

Regards,

A rear universal joint can cause this too.

I had one that drove me nuts in my 88. I did the same as you, checked
everything.

Finally my fan shroud exploded.....

The clutch on my rad fan had given up the ghost.

Strangest damn vibration too. The whole drivetrain was shaking.
