98 xj front end
I have a 98 xj and just had the suspension done (with a slight lift maybe 2" over stock) new front coils and shocks, AAL in the back with new shocks. Got it done at a spring shop. After it was done I had some bad clunking in the front, turns out it was the sway bar bushings. Had them replaced and also the control arms.
Before all this was done I picked up a new set of rims as my old steel ones were badly rusted. (good deal $150 for all and alloy off of a late model CJ)
So here is my issue..... Before the lift, I thought that one of my bearings was going. After the lift it seemed better, but when the sway bar was done everything was nice and tight and the ride was MUCH better... except..... now I have a wobble at high and low speeds. NOT a DW in any way, seems more like a rotation wobble and it really sucks on the highway.
I have had my mechanic check the front end for the bearings and he's not sure (no grinding noise) and I have read many posts on here trying to find my specific problem.
I'm now thinking Alignment. What do you guys think?
Sorry for being so long winded
