Front end and steering wheel vibrates violently when brakes are applied
brakes have been checked out and does not seem to be the problem
what could be causing this. Please advise. Could it be the suspension or alignment or other?

YOUR ROTORS AND/ OR BEARINGS WERE CHECKED LIKE THIS BY A KNOWLEDGEABLE PERSON?

"CHECKED" AND "INSPECTED" HAS DIFFERENT MEANINGS.....DEPENDING ON WHO YOU ASK

I APPRECIATE THE RESPONSE......BUT DID NOT RECEIVE AN ANSWER IN WHICH I MIGHT BE ABLE TO SUGGEST "REAL TESTING" OR MAYBE MOVE ON TO OTHER POSSIBILITIES

KINDA LIKE GOING BACK AND FORTH ABOUT A "NO START" SITUATION FOR DAYS AND DAYS--RUNNING OUT OF POSSIBILITIES---WHEN THE VERY 1ST RESPONSE I GAVE WAS TO "SNATCH THE BATTERY OUT, HAVE IT TESTED AT A POPULAR AUTO PARTS STORE.....THIS IS USUALLY A FREE SERVICE!"

THE ASKER'S RESPONSE BEING, "THE BATTERY IS LESS THAN 6 MONTHS OLD....I KNOW IT'S GOOD"

TEN RESPONSES LATER (AND I'M CONSIDERED AN IDIOT, THE WHOLE TIME)I GET A REPLY BACK, "THE BATTERY WAS THE PROBLEM....IT WAS DEFECTIVE.....ALL IS FINE NOW!"

SO YOU THINK I WAS GIVIN' YOU YOU A QUICKIE ANSWER?......TOO BAD YOU DON'T HAVE A CJ.......LOOK AT THIS 'ONE' (OF MANY)................QUIRKY ANSWERS, HOME-MADE PICS AND DIAGRAMS AND TEACHING GIVEN TO AN EAGER 18 YEAR OLD WILLING TO LEARN......AND NOW A CYBER PAL WITH A DEPENDABLE SUPER JEEP.......HIS POST STARTED IN DECEMBER 2011---RAN TO---JULY 2012

.........STILL NO "REAL ANSWER" TO A QUIRKY REPLY ???

THE MEDIC

PICS BELOW OF PROJECT IN 1991, I WAS ABLE TO DO ......."ALL BY MYSELF"........., IN A ONE CAR GARAGE, IN THE ONE SIDE OF A DUPLEX I RENTED......USING MOSTLY CHILTON AND HAYNES MANUALS FOR HELP..........HE'S STILL A DAILY DRIVER 22 YEARS LATER, ALONG WITH MY '77 CJ 5
