Vibration in my 08 JK
So I'm trying to figure out what the vibration is in my JK. It isn't too bad, like the death wobble, but at 1,000-1,500 RPM's I get a little vibration in the front end. When I accelerate more it stops. I have 31" tires on it, it's not lifted and there's 82,000 miles on it. So far I've heard my ball joints or a u joint in my front driveshaft. Any suggestions?

What happens when to up the RPM's? 1000-1500 is awfully low and the engine will lug.
82k is over due for ball joints, TRE's but i don't think this is your problem.

I have a 4 door and it's an automatic. When I hit the gas and go faster it stops. I have no idea what it is. I'm going to have a shop look at tomorrow but I didn't want to end up buying part after part after part until I finally get the problem fixed lol. I didn't know if anyone's had this problem or had any suggestions. I do plan on replacing the ball joints in a few weeks when I get my lift on.

Try rebalancing your wheels, maybe you lost a weight? 82,000 miles on this set of tires? May be time for new shoes.

The tires aren't the stock tires. The tires are only a few months old, and I just put new wheels on it a few weeks ago. My point was that it has been doing this since before I put the new wheels on it.
