Recently I bought a 1992 Cherokee from some one I work with. Overall it is in great condition, the only problem is there appears to be something wrong with the suspension. If I drive over any bumps in the road the vehicle bounces/hops sideways. it is not the type of bounce when shocks are gone, it a stiff bouncing and feels very unstable in those conditions.

Any input would be greatly appriciated.

a.k.a. The death wobble! There are a bunch of treads about. Use the search.

Did the person you bought it from do anything to the suuspension like bigger coil springs in the front, or a few more leaf springs in the rear? Larger tires I have found also tend to toss you around..

I noticed when I lifted my Jeep, I got tossed around more when I hit potholes/frost heaves etc cause I stiffened the suspension up...
