vibration in steering wheel

[nightmare308]

im new here i have a 2005 liberty with a 5 and a half lift and 31 inch tires but i got a vibration problem it vibrates about 30mph but foot has to be on the gas between 1500 to 2000rpm to really feel it tried tire pressure and air filter please help

Does the vibration go away above 30 mph?
Or is it constant while driving?

 

[nightmare308]

constant while driving but goes away higher than 2000 rpm or foot is off the gas

How long has it been doing it?
How long has it been lifted ?
Have you checked the rear u-joints?
Is the rear tri link ball joint and front bushings good?

 

[nightmare308]

its been doing it about a week
the lift was put in a year ago
the u-joints where replaced this summer
the rest not yet

Only in steering wheel anything in the seats etc?
Rotated the tires to see if you may of lost a weight
also what kind of lift ( JBAs )
CV's if you don't have cut ones bet that could be a possiblity as well
got any pictures of the front suspension/CV angles/ tie rod ends etc
got to have quite a bit of binding there

 

[nightmare308]

nothing in the seats but it only does it when you have your foot on the gas when ytopsou let off it s

 

[nightmare308]

you let off the gas it stops

In addition to what Tom has mentioned,
What kind of wheels/tires, lift do you have?
Could one of your wheels be slightly "out of round"?
Or one of your tires have a blown belt?
Is your front end slightly out of alignment?

It's kind of difficult to diagnose when we don't know what kind of equipment you have fitted to your Liberty...

For example, our KJ also has a nasty vibration through the steering wheel between 70 and 85 KPH (43.5 to 53 MPH).
Above that speed range it drives absolutely smooth, but it is due to the fact that I need new tires (Drivers side severely cupped and just worn down) and an alignment.

BTW, do you have any photo's of your Rig?
I'd like to see your lift that you have fitted.

Cheers

It might be an engine vibration.

 

[nightmare308]

its a custom lift and the tires are baja tires and about a couple months old the front lift is 3 inch in the forks and 2 1/2 in a spacer on top of the strut

 

[nightmare308]
