i have a 1990 jeep loradeo ..it has had the track bar,&sway bar replaced.i drive alot. so i could have hit a curb,but not likely. when i'm going about 50mph it starts to shake, then it 's not so bad, but at 58mph it 's so bad i can't see the car behind me in the rear view mirror..anyways we just got all new tires (we went from 275's to 225's) cause it supposed to have those tires! but we thought the tires would make it better. no... it's worse.also they were put on by a shop and were balanced.and still have a clicking noise from the front ,it comes and goes,around the wheels and grinding when i turn.if anyone knows what i can do next i'd appreciate it!!thanks.

Faulty'worn brakes will only cause a vibration when they are applied. Try this, get the jeep up to 55 and let off of the accelerator (do not touch the brake pedal). If the vibration stops or lessens significantly the vibration is probably in the drive-train. U joint maybe? If the vibration is the same then you may still have some loose front end parts. Ball Joints, Tie Rods Etc. or something like a bent axle in the rear. (You did say you might have hit a curb) Also try to isolate the vibration. If it's from the front your steering wheel will tend to shake. If it's from the rear you will feel it more in your seat, not the steering wheel.

STOP DRIVING IT!!!
Have someone put it up on jacks so the wheels are off the ground. Then put one hand on the top of the tire and the other on the bottom of the tire. Shake it back and forth. If it moves or rattles then its the ball joints. Also crawl undernieth the vehicle and grab the tierod. If it moves and rattles then it has gone out. While under the vehicle, look at the drive shaft. If it looks bent or warpped then it needs replaced. I doubt that it is the drive shaft but it never hurts while your there. The thing that will help out is to get a Chiltons book. Get familiar with your vehicle and study up. A little knowledge never hurts.

The clicking noise when you turn sounds like bad CV joints in your front drive axles.

Happened to my car recently, when I'd reach the speed of 60 or above. It's the BRAKES. Get it checked out soon, my repair was under $200.

If it makes clicking noise when you turn, it is very likely caused by worn out wheel bearings.
