GQ shakes.
GQ shakes.
Hi guys, I had a look through some old threads and noticed alot of people having shaking issues at different speeds etc.
My GQ has started shaking while turning left only at certain angles. It drives straight fine.
Any ideas? Or is it a simple wheel alignment issue?

Mate, as a matter of urgency, jack up your front left wheel and see if the bearings are loose. You can do this by by grabbing the wheel at the top and the bottom and giving it a good shake to see if there is any play.
The GQ is notorious for having the front left wheel come loose because the wheel rotates in the 'undo' direction of the locknuts that hold the bearings in. If the bearings are loose, get them tightened quickly or you risk the wheel coming off whilst driving.

I never had it happen really bad on my GU but the panhard bushes, tie rod ends and wheel alignment are common culprits of those symptoms on jeeps.
Not sure on price, someone else might chime in but I'd be surprised if they were more than $30-$50 and they just need to be pressed in.
You can normally check for excessive play by getting someone to reef the wheel left to right while the vehicle is stationary.

I'm not very good looking, so I guess I better be useful . . .
did you check your king pins? as noted up the top.
Check bear preload on them. Take the wheel off and take the tie rod end off and if the hub falls under it's own weight, theres is not enough preload on the king pins.
If this is so undo the top and bottom plate 4 bolts and take a shim out, What you do the top you should do to the bottom.
This may help.
