| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 jeep wrangler unlimited... While driving on the highway hitting a speed of about 62 my jeep starting shaking so violently that i thought i was going to loose my front end! The steering wheel felt like it was going to come off in my hands and that my tires were ready to fall off as well! This was very very scary since i had my grandchild in the jeep with me! I paid over $800 to have the suspension rod/tie rods replaced. Then shortly thereafter, my jeep would not start. A little pin in the steering column broke and the that part is not sold separately so i had to have the whole steering column replaced... About another $600. |
