Seriously wish I could go but I have a horrible passenger side wheel WOBBLE/SHAKE @ 45mph-55mph, pops and cracks galore when I'm turning my steering wheel and feels like my wheel and entire front end is gonna come out from under it....just replaced my entire drag link and greased the ball joints, tie rod ball joints are starting to wear out but they're still ok..........WHAT THE HELL!?!?!?!? HELP!!!!!!!

Jack it up from the axle on the side that's making noise.With the tire just off the ground stick a pry bar or something under the tire and pry straight up,if the whole wheel moves up and down its a balljoint.There should be no up and down play

Owned my XJ for 1 week today! Running fine and I'm working her hard. I think I got a good deal for a $600 4x4. A little more TLC and she'll be ready to hit some trails.

New steering stabilizer
New drag link
New RC 4-6" adj. track bar
New RC 4-6" front & rear shocks
New RC 4-6" quick disconnects
Ball joints on tie rod are still decent
Still have popping/clunking in the passenger side wheel..does it when I put it in gear or change gears....does it when I hit bumps and sometimes when I turn and the violent wobble continues @ 45-50(5)...idk what the hell?!?!
I adjusted my factory control arms forward as far as they would go....only other thing I can think of is my pitman arm is off a ZJ so its a lil longer than stock, which has my drag link at a SLIGHTLY lesser angle than my track bar.........................ANY HELP?!?!?!

Brandon a stock pitman should work fine up to about 6".Double check every bolt on the new stuff and look at all your bushings.I have a stock tie rod with good ends if you need it.If you want to come by sometime we can check it out

Only reason ZJ pitman arm is on there is bc I had to change out my steering box and the temporary junkyard replacement is off a ZJ....
