See my profile, I will give you as many possibilities as I can think of :

Tires out of balance

Slime or other sealant in tire

Bigas$ glob of mud, dried or wet, on the inside of your rim---see 1st possibility

Belt broke in tire---maybe "Goose Egg Hernia" on a tire

Flat "spotted" tires

Tires are not all same size

Out of Alignment

Steering linkages/joints worn or Dangerously about to fall apart ! ! !

Worn out "U" Joints

Worn out wheel bearings

Loose LUG NUTS ! ! !

Uneven load distribution in vehicle

Engaged in 4X4 on hard surface

Engine/ transmission mounts

Engine skipping

I'm just a CJ GUY, I do not know specifics about your rig.

A manual might cover other stuff I missed.

Alot of stuff to check, Start with the really dangerous stuff 1st, alot of this is EZ checks.

Please let me know what you find, I will TRY to help, or maybe others here can too.

Love, Turddog
