Also, the jeep is drivable and the rear doesn't shake at 75mph anymore.

Now I notice the front is shaking and my driver's seat squeaks!

It never ends :LOL:

I’ve seen folks have this issue after a regear where the front or rear DS could be removed, but the rig resonates if both are installed and they don’t have a hub kit. Not claiming it’s your issue just throwing it out there in case it helps.

My seat squeaks too need to do the proper mod after the Amazon bushings made noise within a few days.

Does it always shake or only when you gas or brake? Do you feel it in the steering wheel or brake pedal?

Is your steering confirmed tight…wheel hubs good, ball joints good, track bar tight?

I’ve been dealing with a headache that your drinking probably earned lol

Feel it in the steering wheel. Those things are relatively new in the last 2 years, track bar could use a check. I did loosen it, not sure how tight I got it back on.

I need to drive it again and take better notes.

Would be worth torque to spec just to know it’s good. Found my aftermarket TB loose once but I had a clunk issue not a shake.

Tire balancing confirmed good? Maybe also grab the front tires at 12 & 6 o’clock to check the wheel bearings.

It's a harmonic issue, comes and goes every 4-5 seconds. I suspect the front drive shaft? I have a HP30 so I can't change the pinion angle without control arms, which I don't have on the front.

Those of us who could not make want to know how it went.

We didn't get back to pavement till after dark, there were some stunning views on the way down but couldn't get too many pics while driving. To be honest there were great views everywhere but between the steering wheel, shifter and 2 way radio there wasn't much opportunity for pics. It was a great time and my Jeep probably saw the hardest day of it's life. Thanks to the other guys who spotted me, went ahead of me to point the lines, and MikeE who had to tug me up one grade in particular that was loose rock I was able to go everywhere the others went even though I am at stock height and have no lockers. We tried to disconnect my sway bar but we didn't have the right Torx but eventually one of the links snapped off anyway solving the problem.

I was amazed at the capability of my stock Jeep, of course I never would have attempted some of those trails on my own and I'm grateful to the guys for letting me tag along and for keeping me out of trouble.
