Default 98 XJ Front End Problem?

Hi Everyone,

I just picked up a 98 XJ and have been working on the front end.
First a little back ground.

I just put new wheel hubs, shocks, rotors and pads on.

On the drivers side I ran into a stripped caliper bolt hole on the steering knuckle. I was able to find another one at the junk yard and while replacing it I realized the ball joints probably should be replaced. So I put in new upper and lower on the drivers side only.

Got it all back together and it seemed to drive real good. While I was putting it in the garage this morning I noticed it was jerky on a tight left hand turn into the garage. It's not in 4WD! Also the U-Joints were replaced on the passenger side and are in good shape on the drivers side.

I'm new to these Jeeps and am wondering if I messed up something or if it maybe needs an alignment?? Or is this just the way they turn even in 2WD?

Thought I would see if anyone might have some ideas.

Thanks in advance.
