Few questions from a NEWB!
First off, hey all.
I have a 1999 cherokee sport. i have been having a few issues with it. One of the issues is that the blinkers {left and right} will only blink for a few seconds then go to a solid light. The second is that i have been having the Death wobble lol sorry i should have just read all the other posts about it. I was told i need new bushings for my Sway bar and a new traction bar? any Suggestions on a good brand. The jeep is not lifted yet? Should i replace the sway bar and bushings or just the bushings. My jeep has 150K miles... I have a few more questions but ill post them later.. Thanks all... Glad to be on the forum!!!!

Sounds like a relay for the blinker problem, easy check - pull another relay, swap em, if your blinkers magically work, head down to the parts store and pick up a new one.
As far as death wobble, have someone up in the jeep turning the steering wheel slightly while you get underneath and look for any bushings or connections that seem too loose. Please, remember to be careful here - don't get an idiot turning the wheel for you that'll slam it in drive and run you over. We do care about you, even if you are new to the forum. Welcome, by the way!

had the same problem it was my blinker relay, which is located in the fuse box its round and there are two of them, one is for the hazards one is for the blinkers. If i remember right the blinker relay is on the top right of the fuse box and the hazard was on the bottom left. like this:
The hazard fuse is number 6 a good way to test if it is the fuse or the relay is turn on your hazards. If it is a relay your hazards will flash just fine when turned on. Then you will know it is the blinker relay.
