Noticed the Jeep was unstable bouncy and unpredictable in right hand corners on the way to my gfs house. On the way home I took my hands off the wheel on a straight stretch and let the Jeep do its thing. It would go left right and then straight for a moment b4 going left and right again. So I figured maybe I messed up my new ball joints when I installed them. Found diff fluid all over the bottom of the drivers side knuckle when I got home. I wrecked the Jeep a few weeks ago because I had the left front blow out but everything looked fine under the front end when I but new wheels and tires on. Now the Jeep is not just scary to drive 4 weeks later (been driving it for 2.5 weeks since the wreck) but its now no longer drivable do to the axle loosing fluid. What would cause all this? How can I fix it and how can I figure out exactly what caused it? I need help big time my Jeep is my only vehicle right now.

try tightening the bolts on anything that has to do with steering and see if you find one that isnt as tight as it should be. Use a wrench and do it, dont just crawl under and look for a loose bolt...
Everything from ball joings, track bar, steering box bolts, control arms, see if you have worn out bushings in your control arms etc
