Sep 13, 2008 (9:07 pm)

my rear wheels judder when slow turning advised to change t/box or viscous coupling changed box
no better you can see the wheels stopping and starting straight line is fine at speed .i then replaced the diff oil in desperation it improved
for a day now its worse sounds like the axle is whinning its a 98 g/ch orvis its only done 74.000
im only glad that i did not purchase the new viscous coupling that was priced at £850 i get people stop me to tell me about my wheells
juddering trouble is its difficult to get good advice
so far my 4x4 centre could have cost me a lot of money for no cure.reading the forums people have changed various things but still get problems
what direction should i persue thanks

#20 of 27 What are best R17 tyres for JGC hemi 5.7 - 2005 by hemi572k5

Dear all,
 I have fixed four new Perilli 245/65 R17 ATR tires for my Hemi JGC 2005 but I noticed that they are too noisey at the inside while driving. I was told that because they are off-road hard tyres.
 Can any one advise me what are a better performance and more quite/smooth on-road tyres for this Jeep. I'll be able to resell them over here with minor loss.

try Goodyear Fortera silent armor - they're quiet and smooth inside, and perform well in the rain/snow/gravel. i've had mine for 25K, and i plan to get the exact same tires again ('98 ZJ P245/75R16).

ive had mud tires on different trucks ive owned, if your looking for a mud tire thats quiet & has good "road manners", try the pitbull brand tires. go to tire rack.com, they should have them there or try pitbull tires.com

#24 of 27 99 JGC DW Issue by alterego1008

Mar 01, 2010 (7:30 am)

I purchased a 20inch rim tire set for this jeep and after 2 alignments , 2 sets of shocks, steering dampener I still had a wobble at about 50 mph. New wheels and tires Zinik 20 inch rims on Hankook P275/45 R20. I've moved back to the JGC stock rims and wheels and everything is fine. Is this an alignment issue?" If so anybody know of any specialty shops in the Chicago area that have expert knowledge in doing these alignments with upgraded tire\rim packages?

#25 of 27 Correct tires by jessefw

I have two jeeps. One is a 4 Door wrangler with P22575R16 goodyear fortera silent armor tires and the other is a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland with P23565R17 tires with tire pressure sensor. The Wrangler tires look larger. Can the R16 wheels and tires be used on the Overland? Is the pressure sensor affected? Am I violating anything by doing this. You may ask the reason so the wrangler is being lifted to accept much larger tires but the forteras are brand new. They are also very quiet compared to the wrangler AT's on the overland.

I went with Goodyear Fortera silent armor tires. After installing them I thought I was driving a different car because they were so quiet. The ratings for on road/off road/icenad snow are great.

It's not really an alignment issue but an incorrect rim offset issue. Meaning you got the wrong rims.
