im not big on repairing autos... but ive been around the block and my jeep has me puzzled. i have a 06 jeep wrangler x , and all is well.... until i hit 50 mph, then the vibration starts from the front driver side.... when i hit around 57 mph, it smoothes out and the vibration is gone... i have changed the tires, rotors, and brakes... i will get a front end alignment soon, but im not sure thats my only problem. i have yet to take the jeep off road.... and ideas????

I did not see bearings on the list of things done and I would get a good alignment check on it before hitting panic button here.

Was it a vibration or "oh crap, I'm going to crash and take out a bus of orphans"? The later is DW however, the alignment "should" take care of it but you should also check out your track bar and make sure it's torqued down to proper specs, if that's ok, then check the ball joints.

and get the balance checked on your tires again, it doesn't take much to throw the balance off

allignment and check all steering joints as well as stabilizer shock i get a vibe aroud that speed and i checked my toe in and it is to much if yer good at measuring ther is specs on the net to do a home allignment and i found it works well it is pretty simple and maybe it could be ball joints or u-joints in the fr. diff. or a combo of these

Start by jacking up the front axle - put a pry bar under the tire and lift it up and down - if it moves you need a bearing assembly
then get a big pair of channel locks and squeeze the tie rod ends to see if they move
get someone to sit in the vehicle and shake the steering wheel back and forth - you look up under the front end to see if the tie rod ends move excessively. also look at the lower track bar mount - they usually move (this means the bolt hole is wallowed out)
if it is lifted - you will need upper adjustable front control arms, to set your caster! $179.99
