    I am getting steering wheel shake almost a thumping at different speeds different intensity sometimes 3 times a day maybe not for another week or month. it starts and gets worse as I slow down.i stop start back up it’s gone.this is the only consistent part .once 4 months ago on exit ramp I thought a tow home was coming violent shaking - pulled over then started up to get to safer place, it was totally gone didn’t happen again for a couple weeks ! It’s a 2013 rock warrior never been damaged 75000 mi. Any help out there?

Stock tires on aftermarket rims and new tires on aftermarket rims. Before the 3/1 level kit and after. Gonna get under this weekend and check any wear out parts. Got 52K on the clock right now.

    Been having the same problems

    I have changed Tires
    Rear Axle’s
    Break rotors polishes
    Brake pads to EBC
    Upper control arm bushes (Total Chaos)
    Removed spacers
    Re-connected sway bar
    Replaced. Steering rods
    Rebuilt steering rack

    Nothing seems to be solving the problem.


    But still bad vibrations on high speeds

    any other suggestions apart from buying a new Truck ? ✌

    I have replaced almost every part of the front end. The only remaining items are the upper and lower ball joints and the wheel bearings. I will let you know if any of these fix the issue.

    Update - I have done the Rotors - Brakes - Lower control arm bushings --> No CHANGE

    I put back the stock rims and tires and it got better. I then replaced the rear shock with 5100's and the problem is 90% gone.

    I am going to the junkyard tomorrow to pick up a drive shaft. I will use new ball joints in case one of them is prematurely failing.

    I will update you after the weekend.
