Ok I have a question. So the other day I put 33's on my XJ with a 4.5" lift. I trimmed my fenders today and on the way home I hit a pot hole and the tire started shaking until I pulled off the road. This is the first time it has done it to me then it happened again later today. So can someone help me with what to check and possible fixes?

Thanks.

If it was uncomfortable, it's bumpsteer.
If you **** yourself, it's death wobble.


Did you install an aftermarket track bar with that lift? Any changes to your steering?

New felpro intake/exhaust manifold gasket.
Blue stripes toward block or out? No instructions and Google was useless.

anybody know the book hours for D30 front pinion bearing swap? got a whine that's getting worse, rather try just the front pinion bearing instead of redoing everything
