Have you had your ties rotated lately? My 2002 TJ was exhibiting the
vibration one would normally associate with warped rotors. I got the
dealer to rotate the tires and the vibration went away. Also the jeep
rode quieter after that. Jeep tend to wear cups in the tires due to
the fact that they use transfer cases to get the power to the wheels.
Hope this helps,

I was going for a service next Monday and part of it is to have the tyres
rotated. I can drive it for another week after that and see if that helps.
Although I will wait for it shows on Monday.
Thanks.
