Buddy of mine just sent me a text about his XJ running weird. Figured I'd post here and brainstorm with you guys before I venture out into the cold to look at it.

His message is this;

"Its started having a really rough start. Thought it was of the cold weather but it was really bad on wednesday. Seems to be pulling to the right when braking. Idk if im in need of an alignment but the steering is real loose lately?"

1. For the start im thinking dirty IAC. Then I'll freshen up all the grounds in the engine bay. Anything else I should check?

2. Locked right caliper?

3. Check front end components. Trackbar, ball joints, tie rod ends, and where the drag link hits the pitman arm.

Sound good?

 

Everything you said sounds correct, also check the steering box. And check the ignition system over well, maybe give it a tune up
