Drove the jeep around fine all day yesterday. Sits overnight and now I have the death wobble... I have owned this thing for 10 days. Guess I'll be learning a bit about its front suspension.

last minute i decide to back out getting the '98 even tho it's good price. i just have a gut feeling about it. all the fluid were super low. it could be from sitting too long but i don't know im not a jeep expert. the only thing bother was the hatch and rear quarter damages. i thought of going to the jy and pick up the replacements, but looks like a lot of work.

That's for posting that pic. I plan on painting my wheels black on my 2 door SE. Now I know what it will look like when I am done.

First thing to check is for big chunks of ice/snow stuck to the inside of the wheels. My wife had the same thing happen on the Aztek. it was a massive hunk frozen on those stupid wheels. Then check for broken belts in the tires.

Thanks for the advice. It must be something. Was right when I hit 45 I couldn't go any faster and had to slow down to keep the steering wheel from swaying back and forth. It sat at work and I drove around yesterday for a bit on some back roads and couldn't duplicate the problem. So it could have very well been a bunch of gummed up snow. Either way I'm going to go through the front end this weekend and verify everything is tight.

So I found a guy in lake Geneva parting out his mj, so I'm getting a new slider back window, mirrors, trim pieces and a bed topper with tinted windows for 100 bucks. Its going to be such a steal.
I also tried to install new gauges today to replace idiot lights, but once I got everything hooked up half the gauges didn't work and the ones that did were way off.
