What causes a Jeep to shake while driving?

My Jeep has recently started shaking while driving at high speeds. I’m hoping that the problem is simple enough that I can fix it by myself. But I’m an amateur mechanic at best. What causes a Jeep to shake while driving?

This is a very common problem among
Jeeps
, especially if your Jeep is lifted.
A Jeep might shake while driving if a number of different components are misaligned or poorly installed. The driveshaft is one example.
It’s typically best to talk to a mechanic to diagnose the problem and get it fixed. While the shaking might be scary, it’s usually safe to drive your vehicle in the meantime.
