An obious bend or large dent in the driveshaft, slop in the U-joints.

Re: Weird vibration
Does the YJ have the axle disconnect like the older Cherokee? If so,
you can rule out the front drivetrain unless the disconnect isn't disconnecting. You can check that by jacking up a tire and spinning it to see if the driveshaft turns. I had a high speed vibration that was hard to find on my 4.0. It turned out to be a bad clutch on the rad fan. You can check it for slop with a cold off engine or even with a hot off engine.

Re: Weird vibration
Hi Earle,
Really? I knew the XJ did away with the disconnect, but I thought the YJ kept it thought the series. Now if someone would give me a YJ service manual. ;-) God Bless America, Bill 0|||||||0 mailto:-------------------- http://www.----------.com/ "Earle Horton" <earle@vascongado.usa> wrote in message news:45b0e4d0$0$7826$a82e2bb9@reader.athenanews.co m... > This vehicle does have the axle disconnect in stock configuration > > Earle |
