Jeep Grand Cherokee Shakes On Bumps Q. 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4WD, 4.0 liter; 6 cylinder; automatic; 150,000 miles; fuel injection; ABS; and cruise control. The problem I'm having is when I'm at highway speed and hit a bump, the front end begins to violently bounce to an uncontrollable state. I've replaced tie rod ends inner and outer, shocks on both sides, CV joints on both sides and the problem continue.

What did I miss? I'm very frustrated. Sometimes before the bouncing, I can feel a simmering in the steering wheel. Should I replace the center link bar that connects to pitman arm? All happens as a result of hitting a bump. Please help me!!!

A. I would check the stabilizer bar (14), links (17), link bushings, (18) and bushings (15). I think you'll find some are bad or broken.
