Driving home yesterday doing about 70 on the highway and the xj decides she wants to kill me I guess. Bouncing and bucking side to side.Drop speed, pull over and coast the breakdown lane for a few seconds while it settles out. No lumps or any issues with the tires. Checked the stabilizer, drag link and tie rod. Worst I found was my front left outer tie rod end grease jacket is blown wide open. Figure it's okay to cruise back home to fix it. Now it's stable under light acceleration (say giving it 20 or so seconds to lightly build up speed), but under normal speed (going from city to highway basically 35 to 65ish in short order) it bucks and shakes.

Since I'm going to be under there anyways, any other suggestions besides the obviously damaged tie rod end? No previous symptoms and it was sudden.
