does the vibration oscillate or is it constant and, do you feel it in your steering wheel only or, can you feel it throughout your entire jeep?

okay, just to make sure, is the vibration significant like a shimmy or, very light like a buzzing?

okay, could be you have a rear pinion angle in need of adjustment or drive shaft in need of balancing or replacement. could be a front shaft but, being that you have 2-door, i'm gonna go with it being a rear. could be wrong though.

GOT IT FIXED !

I was really annoyed by the vibration then i took it to the place where i got it fixed , and guess what , the pinion itself was bent ! so littile but we could see the drive shaft wiggle slowly, got a new set of ring and pinion fixed

Thanks wayoflife !
