Heavy Duty Joint
Why does my jeep cherokee wobble out of control when I hit bumps?
My jeep makes a pop/snapping noise when im driving down the street or offroad. It occurs mainly when I go over little or big bumps (road unevenness). Sometimes it begins to wobble out of control, shaking my jeep all over the place. It will stop only when I slow down hard immediately. I was told it could might be something w/ axle joints? I have no idea about it so please help. Ill add that my jeep cherokee is a laredo 4x4, 4door, I6, 6inch lift on 32" muds, with replacement heavy duty tie rod/draglink kit. There once was just a pop noice everyonce in awhile, but its more noticeable and is always doing it with those wobbles/shakes happening now.
You have a worn out steering component, probably a bad pitman arm. I had this happen on an old chevy truck long ago. The nut holding the drag link to the pitman arm was about to fall off. The joint was loose and oscillating in the hole. It would shake the whole truck. If I would jerk the steering wheel back and forth, it would stop.
Just check for loose front end parts.
