My jeep shakes violently when I drive over certain bumps like overpasses or some potholes but mostley over passes and I have to hit the brakes and slow down to a complete stop or close to it before the shaking stops. I thought it might be a broken motor mount or maybe the struts but my friend was in the car and said it didnt seem like the struts and it might be the uv joint or cv joint? I would just like to know what it could be before I take it to a shop or if its something me and friends can fix. I see your donation link above and I will look into that right now, I dont mind paying for a little piece of mind

Sounds like a bad bushing or linkage in the front end. Without being able to inspect it, hard to say which one. Some Jeeps had issues with the front radius arm bushings

All I add is that we had a lot of brake rotor issues
I would have them check too
