Thank you. I yanked on the track bar at both ends and it didn't budge.

I brought the XJ in for a recall item, and told them to give me estimates for a bunch of stuff I am going to do myself (was curious of their cost), and for anything else that needs fixing. The two additional things they came back with were replace track bar and cracked exhaust manifold. Do you think the dealer was pulling my leg?

 

Ok I checked everything today and it all seemed tight and good. But I got death wobble 3 times today. Once going 45. What do I do?

 

So what did you work on between when it wasnt doing it and when it happened first

Read it. Close CF. Read it again. Come here and tell us what you know after reading that thread

 

Should have quoted him

 

My bad lol lemme fix it

 

Lift

 

You, go here

 

Also, my guess is your using the stock track bar and now the lift has pulled the axle to the passenger side and the drag link and track bar are not at the same angle. So, re drill or buy adj track bar

 

Tires could be an issue. I had a TJ with some older procomps I bought off of CL. I did a lift and put those on all at the same time. The first time it did it I thought it was going to rattle to pieces before I could get stopped. Checked everything as far as suspension and it all seemed good. Got new tires and problem solved.

This is just one example of all of the diff things that could be causing it.

 

Check engine bay for leaks on top side, check underneath for major oil leakage on ground, belly for signs of long time oil leaks like soaked undercarrige/trans. Leaking transfer case, and pinion seals. anything repositioned items like vacuum resivior next to battery due to damaged stock bumper. bodylines not matching up due to accident/wreck. check for tow hitch, no hitch, trans prolly in good shape from not abused towing with auto trans.
Door hinges cracking at welds check, corners of roof/door opening cracked from flexing. If of a year with OBDI or OBDII check for codes or plug in analyzer to check for cleared and not fixed/stored engine codes.
Check under rear seat carpet/bolt heads for signs of rust, damp smell. Seat condition, tears, carpet wear/heavy use.
Tire condition, wear patterns, dry rot.
Window seals, especially windshield for signs of leaks like damp front carpets...
Check kbb.com for hints of price adjustment for condition.
Oil color on dipstick and level, trans fluid color/smell on trans dipstick on auto.
Sagging headliner could indicate A/C not working. On road test steer from side to side and listen for bad hub bearings. Brand new tires may mean a suspension/bearing problem hidden by just putting on tires instead of fixing problem.
And thats just a start...Good Luck and Happy Trails...
I copied this from another thread I answered, its a start...good hunting.
Also check Craigs List at least twice a day, they go fast if they are good.

 

It's only a 3" lift? And I only drove it home when I bought it before the lift so I'm not sure if it was doing it before

 

You get an alignment? No, that will fix it.. probably

 

Lol noooo >.>

 

Not sure about the track bar but exhaust manifold is probable. It's not a matter of "if" the stock one cracks, but "when"
