I just bought a 1992 XJ Sport of ebay. I was driving it home this weekend (10 hour drive). I've got two major issues with this vehicle and was wondering if anyone could help me out.
First is this: While driving at speeds equal to and greater than 70mph on the interstate, I'm ok unitl I hit a bump in the road (ie a pothole repair or a transition from the asphalt road to a bridge). All the sudden the Jeep starts shaking really really bad. I hit the brakes and slow down to 45 mph and the shaking stops. I can then accelerate back up to 70 and nothing happens until I hit another bump and it will shake the whole truck again. It doesn't just vibrate the steering wheel, but the entire vehicle. It won't shake like this at 60 or 65 mph...only around 70. Any thoughts as to what this is?
Second, my speedometer works but the odometer doesn't. Does anyone know what I can do to get this fixed?
Thanks for the advice.
