Got a free day!
 
Because of some events that happened last night and having nothing else planned today, i have a free day! What is some out of the ordinary maintenance i can do to my jeep now that i actually have time? Like asside from oil, coolant, air filter, you know, asside from the usually stuff

grease your bearings, tighten control arms, check springs for movement when compressed, tire lugs, brake lines, U-joints, pads, shocks, cleaning.

Thats some of the other stuff i do on spare time.

help!
 
so, I am new to the jeep world, and so far I am not liking what I got into.... I need some help. Have a 98 cherokee sport completely stock. Going about 65 mph the steering wheel shakes and the truck feels like it rocks side to side so hard it might tip... until it slows down under 60... I put new upper and lower ball joints, front axle U-joint, steering stabilizer, balanced the tires..and the shaking continues... any thoughts?? I appreciate all replies..

control arm bushings, track bar bushings. Go under the search section and type in "Death wobble". Good luck.
