I have a 1990 Cherokee 6 cyl and when I get to 50-55 mph it starts to wheel hop. It has a very firm suspension. The guy I bought it from said it handles rough on streets but great on offroading. It does. You can feel every bump in the road. I have been told by 2 different shops that it needs power steering pump, Master cylinder and motor mounts but I think it may be more front end alignment and suspension issues. Has anyone else experienced this? I have a guy ready to fix it but don't want to pay for something that does'nt need immediate fixing like this hopping thing because I feel like it going to drive off the road if I go over 50.:eek:

Please help and thanks i advance!!

Start by checking/tightening everything in the front suspension.
A stiff suspension usually won't death wobble.
Your tires may also be out of balance.

My old drive shaft did that. Everything was good until about 45 or 50

So what should I do if it's the drive shaft? Sorry for sounding like :homer:

It just seems to feel more like a front end wobbly issue. freakin weird.

Where do you feel the "hopping" in your ass? through the steering wheel?

My first guess, with little information would be the tires.

No more in the front, not my ass LOL!! The wheels/front end. Just gonna take it to Firestone and let them sort this shit out. Thanks for all the feed back!

Do you have a steering shock?

Replaced Right ball joint and it was okay for 2 days the I sheared all the bolt off the rear end. I limped it 4 Wheel parts and am awaiting the cha ching. Does'nt this shit frustrate you. I think I boughtsomeone else abused toy and am having to repair everything. :shaking:

It has a Dana 35. I wanted to go with a Dana 44 but he did'nt have one and said it would cost alot more. ?????

Dude - Its a 17+ year old vehicle. Shit wears out.
