Ok, so, I have been driving the '87 XJ Laredo, Renix, D30/D44, for a while now (a almost a month) with no issues. A couple days ago I started getting a ridiculous wobble at 43 mph. (exactly.) I have noticed that, since then, it kinda fluctuates from 38-54 mph. I can make it stop for a little while by changing lanes or something else that involves turning the wheel.

The question I have is this, is it my tie rod ends? Some bushings somewhere? I really appreciate any responses. I just need to know soon so I can order the parts before my workweek is over.


PS, yesterday, in order to fix a different issue, I replaced the front and rear diff gaskets, and the rear u joints, as well as a transfer case fluid swap clean and flush. All with no change. (I didn't really expect it to help but I hoped.)

you need to check the bushings on the control arms. check tie rod ends, wheel bearings.also you might need a new stabilizer shock on the front im sure im forgetting something else to check but i know someone else will chim in with it

well, as far as the steering stabilizer, I didn't personally replace it, but it looks new. I guess I will order one anyway.

mine looked fairly new when i bought my xj. when i replaced the tie rods. i found out that it was shot and i need to replace it.

Start simple. balance your tires and get an alignment. if not it never hurts
