I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Freedom Edition. Why does the steering wheel shake when hit brakes?

There are several possible reasons why the steering wheel shakes when you hit the brakes in your 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Freedom Edition. Here are a few things to check:

- Brake rotors: The brake rotors could be warped or damaged. This can cause the steering wheel to shake when the brakes are applied. You can check the brake rotors by visually inspecting them for any signs of damage, or you can have them inspected by a mechanic.

- Brake pads: The brake pads could be worn out or damaged. This can also cause the steering wheel to shake when the brakes are applied. You can check the brake pads by visually inspecting them for any signs of wear, or you can have them inspected by a mechanic.

- Wheel alignment: The wheel alignment could be off. This can cause the steering wheel to shake when the brakes are applied. You can have the wheel alignment checked by a mechanic.

- Loose suspension components: Loose suspension components can also cause the steering wheel to shake when the brakes are applied. You can check the suspension components by visually inspecting them for any signs of damage, or you can have them inspected by a mechanic.

If you are not comfortable inspecting these components yourself, you can take your Jeep to a mechanic to have them checked out.
