For what appears to be no reason... my 1995 jeep cherokee will just start shaking so hard that i have almost caused several accidents. the steering becomes a mess and with my doors off...i was able to look at the wheel while driving and it was shaking so bad that i thought the entire front end of the car was falling off and the wheels were shaking all over the place..
then... it just goes away and it drives perfect.
why??????
What you have is called death wobble. Generally it is caused by one or several loose components in the steering. You need to have all mounts including where steering box is attached to the chassis checked. Often the problem is caused by either bad ball joints or track bar ends or mounts. Wheel stud torque is also important. if any brake, tire, or other front end work has recently been done, this may be the cause. One item often suggested by shops is the steering stabilizer. It is often damaged by the shaking but if replaced will not cure the problem and will be damaged again.
If everything in the front end is carefully checked and verified as good, then as a last resort, have some additional positive caster added to the front end alignment. That often helps.
Testimonial: "you were right... death wobble. since posting this i have now had EVERYTHING replaced on the front end. and the wobble is gone but so is my money:)!"

Hmmm could be wheel bearing.
Could be a differential problem.
Could be ball joints.
Have the front end checked out.
