recently my front right tire was extremely low. when i checked it, it only
had 10 lbs of air in it when it should have 35. iadded air but not long
after that the front end started shaking really bad and it pulls to the
left. the shaking seems to be more in the steering wheel and it varies
with speed. it is running extremely rough. can anyone give me an idea of
what im dealing with. its a 1992 jeep cherokee with 71,000 miles
(original)

thanks

The tire is ruined from running it low on air. Replace it.

Sounds like a dead tire. Lots have a road hazard warranty, maybe you
can get a pro rated price cut on one or maybe two new ones. It is best
to have both tires on the same axle with the same wear on a Cherokee
unless it is a 2 WD one.

I had to do that with a Hercules tire, it went out of round and I wasn't
the original purchaser, but still got a price break.

I'd bet a balance clip fell off the rim. Of course, if the tire was low for a
while it could be damaged. Swap that tire with the rear tire if the rear is
in decent shape, and see if the driveability problem mostly goes away.
