Okay ill check it out. Also my back end kinda seems loose too. Maybe its just me cuz I've never owned a lifted vehicle before. It has 3"life 31" tires any ideas?

sounds like a personal problem! Lmao

totally joking, it could be the trac bar or bad control arm bushings causing that, look at the rubber for cracks or any part missing

I have a 98 Grand that I have had since new,now has 155K.Was doing the same thing,changed ends that didn't help.Ended up replacing the steering box much better now,but still doesn't feel like my Cherokee.

Make sure the trackbar bolts are tight. A loose rear trackbar will make your Jeep feel like the tea cup ride at Disneyland.

I just had to have a traction bar replaced that was pretty loose, had a lot of wander in my steering as well.
