I am having some weird suspension issues. I have a 2000 Jeep laredo with 4.0 straight 6. has 80,000miles. The problem feels like it is in the front, but cant really tell. When I am driving down the road, doesnt matter really what speed, when I hit a bump in the road, the steering wheel seems to vibrate, like the tires are bouncing across the street, it almosts wrecks me. The steering shakes also, and causing my tires to cup real bad. I checked the tire pressure, its set at 36. the tie rods look ok. I am thinking of checking the front wheen bearings, but I dont really know if that can cause that kind of problem or not. I just replaced the front pads and rotors. This has been going on for a while. Its just a strange feeling when going into a curve and you hit a bump and feels like the front end is scooting or bouncing across the street. anyone know whats going on? thanks in advance

shocks may be gone. coil springs get crazy when they don't have shocks to keep them in check my jeep started to skip across the road anytime i'd hit a bump into a turn until i replaced them

Yea, thats what I was thinking too. I checked the shocks for leaks, everything looked fine. The way my steering wheel shakes when I am going down the road and when I hit a bump it almost makes me want to point to the tie rods. But the vibration from going down the road could be from the cupping of tires, but then again what is causing the tires to cup that bad. God I am starting to hate jeeps,lol. I am a mechanic by trade and I am starting to wonder why I started to work on cars,lol.

Sounds Like Death Wooble Jeep is known for it. First thing to check is the steering stablizer located on the drag link. If it checks out good check the Hubs, Ball Joints , Tie Rods, Control Arms Bushings, Track Bar and CV Joints . Also make sure your Tires are IN Good Shape. Ihave a 93 Cherokee that had it I had to rebuild the Front End to get rid of it. The Cherokee and Grand Cherokee are very close in the Front end as my 93 Cherokee and 96 Grand used almost the same parts.

is that as much of a problem on the 99 and up jeeps. i know when my shocks started going they were scary and i think if they were totally gone i'd probably get killed but i didn't get the crazy death wobble. it just tried to skip it's self off the road if i got into some bumps while in a turn at speed. i'd get a little shake in the wheel but nothing bad the shocks completely cured it for me. also my shocks were gone at about 100k so 80 is a reasonable distance i think
