VIOLENT SHAKE WHEN HIT BUMP ????

Have a 2002 taco that had a slight rattle for awhile, now all the sudden I hit a bump and the whole front end shakes BAD, almost like a u-joint, but on front end until I slow down then it goes away until the next bump, anyone have ideas, it would be much appreciated!!!!

 

You either have a totally shot shock/s or the front end steering parts are completely worn out, tie rods, ball joints, the works. Dangerous as heck.

 

^^

Jeeps are known to get the death wobble pretty easily. This look like what you are experiencing?

Edit: BTW, I am not bashing Jeeps. I own one. Just a fact.

WOW!! That looks violent and dangerous, yea I suspected tie rod ends, struts, and ball joints, just with visual and extreme shaking nothing feels loose or looks out of place, maybe sway bar stabilizer, I have a 3" coil over lift so?? Possible wheelbearing, not sure also saw something about driver side needle bearing, but don't know for sure and hate to go on a wild and expensive goose chase. That jeep is horrifying though! TY for the input any and all help is much appreciated, if not for taco world never would of fixed my strut issue on the 00 taco.

 

Turns out it was a combo of things, replaced both struts, both half shafts, no more vibration or shaking so combo of all things but I think primarily the struts, anyway TY for all your help and input!!
