Spotting this Blazer on my bike ride home. Not hating on blazers just kidding but thought this was funny/ sucks for whoever.

I think he took the speed bump a little too fast.

My 9 year old asked me what those were for since they dont seem to slow anyone down. I told him that I try to jump them in my Beep. Others have to slow down for them because they drag just going up and down the road.

I used to just blow over speed bumps in my 4X4 tacoma. That thing was jacked and it felt like hitting small pot holes. I am a little more careful when rolling over them in the cherokee though.

Looks like somebody needs a new hub assembly and maybe tie rod end....I've had that happen to me though, not going over speed bumps, but on an '89 LeSabre with about 300k miles on it.
