Weird vibe

[Shibadog]

So we just got home from 6 weeks on the road in the MH with the Jeep playing “toad”. Logged about 2800 miles on the Jeep-zero issues and great performance. My 20 Sport S with Rubi take off wheels and KO2’s on stock suspension. Tuesday highway run into town did great. Last evening I suddenly had a fairly severe vibration starting around 65 mph. Vehicle tracks straight just shakes the steering wheel and vehicle.. Never had any issues with this Jeep. I’m thinking either (1) wheel weight has came off or (2) belt slipped in a tire. I’m taking t to tire shop today to get checked, You guys have any other ideas on possible causes. Vehicle has 20k miles at this time. Thanks!

I'm no expert, but my strong guess would be a lost wheel weight. I've had it happen before, and it often seems to manifest in the same sort of vibration you mention right around 60 to 65 mph.

I'd check for loose components as well

If you use the stick on weights, it's not hard to figure out if you lost one. Just grab a flashlight and look.

Yeah, I’m going to get it up on a lift and take a look. I’m too old to crawl under it on a gravel driveway?

Well guys it was tires. Slipped or broken belt. Got them replaced and all is good-smooth as silk. Run her up to a “high” rate on the slab on the way home-nada. Thanks for your input?
