Re: Weird vibration
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.

kept it thought the series. Now if someone would give me a YJ service
manual. ;-)
