Every time I hit a bump on the road. It feels like I have a flat tire. And it stops when I slow down to 20 miles per hour.

SORTA SOUNDS LIKE THE BEGINNINGS OF THE INFAMOUS "DEATH WOBBLE"!

YEP, IT'S NOT A REAL SAFE SITUATION

TO MAYBE GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THIS IS EXACTLY

LOOK UP "DEATH WOBBLE" ON "YOU TUBE", YOU MIGHT EVEN ADD "CHEROKEE" INTO THE SEARCH WORDING.

GOING BY "YOU TUBE'S" SHOWING YOU THE EXACT POSSIBLE ISSUES, WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE, OR WHAT THEY "SHOULD" LOOK LIKE, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO VERIFY SOME OF THIS IN YOUR DRIVEWAY.

TO EXPLAIN IT IN SORTA SIMPLE TERMS (IF THIS IS THE ISSUE) YOU MAY HAVE BADLY WORN FRONT END SUSPENSION COMPONENTS, SOMETIMES FASTENERS THAT HAVE LOOSENED UP, SWAY BAR BUSHINGS, BENT PARTS, IT MAY BE JUST AS SIMPLE AS NEEDING AN ALIGNMENT!

HOPING THE BEST FOR YOU, YOU SHOULD HAVE A REALLY EXPERIENCED (BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME) ALIGNMENT SHOP TAKE A LOOK AT IT. (I DON'T RECOMMEND ONE OF THOSE PLACES THAT HAS NEW FACES EVERY TWO WEEKS).

RETURN HERE AND LET US KNOW HOW THINGS WORK OUT!
