steering question
my wifes jeep is lifted, (98 cherokee xj) its got a 3" suspension lift with 1 3/4 coil spacers
question is, the steering feels loose, like when you hit a bump it wants to veer everywhere. its got all new ball joints, tie rod ends, u joints, tires, control arms and its aligned with new 31" BFG A/T's
it does have the ARB bumper that kinda weighs it down, but I dont think it should have that much of a difference...what do you guys think?

sounds like the old XJ death wobble to me.
XJ Wabble fixes
Now more pics of the XJ being used...trailer queens need apply.

yes and no, the jeep has had a serious case of the death wobble, thats why we changed out everything, but its just when it hits a bump or your turning...I dont know its just not right, its like its loose when you hit a bump it wants to wander all over the place

have a buddie that had a ram that had the same problems, spent tons of money putting it in the shop and replace the whole front end basicaly, still had the problem, it must be a chrysler thing... 
so he goe rid of it and got a Duramax, good choice.
