Six problems related to suspension have been reported for the 1997 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
After hitting bumps in the road the steering seems like it wobbles entire vehicle.
My frame is rotting from the inside out. The rear trailing arm mounts are welded to the frame and the frame rotted through from the inside out. The vehicle will not pass the required saftey inspection. I started looking for a way to repair/replace the frame and found that this is a common problem. The cost of repair will exceed the value of the vehicle. The date I have entered is the date the problem was found.
Noticed wobble underneath while driving. Inspected underneath and noticed light showing between transfer case skid plate and frame (should be tight) and bolt hanging down. Took into shop and lower mid frame on both sides is completely rusted through allowing skid plate bolts to fall out with nuts still attached. Skid plate also serves as transfer case mount and when it drops the driveshaft wobbles. Ultimately if it had completely let go on the highway the rear driveshaft would have locked up and locked the rear wheels causing uncontrolled skid, or the driveshaft would break causing danger to the passengers.
While driving my Jeep on a public road going about 45, the vehicle began to shake uncontrollably. I had to pull over and stop the vehicle in order for the shaking to stop. It was incredibly dangerous, and I was lucky that I wasn't involved in an accident.
While traveling at 35 mph vehicle suddenly jerked really hard and tossed consumer around a little. Dealer has not been contacted. Please provide any further information.
Vehicle was making a really loud noise when steering was being turned . Consumer has gotten arbitration for this vehicle.
