how much do you have to tourque on a new bearing? Ok well maybe see if there is some "vert de gris" ( i'm french)but of you clean tes capteurs ça pourrais aider

I have a suggestion for you...
I have a 1992 Jeep Cherokee Lorado (XJ). I found this site that may help you find what your looking for. http://jeep.zerok.ru/index.php?page=XJ1984-1991

It has valid information.

A huge issue with XJ's is Death Wobble and info here would be valuable.
Death Wobble is similar to highway shimmy or speed wobble but on a trail it can start at lower speeds as well when you hit a bump just right and can sometimes be reduced or corrected by lightly applying your brakes. It is due to warn suspension components (ie tierod ends, bushings, steering stabalizer and others) or improper adjustments or adjustments not being secured as well as other causes. There is information on this around the internet but i've never found anything very definitive. There are a number of causes for the XJ Death Wobble and a section here on where to start looking for that cause and how to fix it depending on where you find it would be great. If someone wants a little project they could gather up the info and organize it here in one section of causes (double sorted first by easiest things to check and then by most common cause) and a second section of solution where each solution is linked to from the appropriate place in the causes section. These XJ's are like Harley's in that the owners seldom leave them at stock configurations. Novice mechanics and even 4x4 enthusiasts who are not mechanics at all love to get their hands dirty on these things. Guidance in this area would be appreciated and might save lives of some XJ owners and/or other drivers anywhere near them on the highway. Thanks. I'll be checking back here for info and linking to it from all over the internet once it is here.

(one tip i've never come by on internet but discoverd at my own expen$e is that you can have death wobble to a degree that would be undetectable and not an issue other than it gets triggered by a bent rim. I imagine this could be the case with alignment and wheel bearings as well. When you've replaced about all of your suspension and drained your wallet you might discover this and wish this aricle had existed)
