steering problem HELP
hey everyone
i got a 97 zj quadra-trac. the steering problem i have is drivin down the road my steering is really loose, i have a ton of play in the steering wheel. drivin down the road my jeep just swerves all over the place back and forth like crazy. i just put new tie rod ends , new drag link and just had my alignment done and its still there. im thinking next the steering gear box is worn out?

Check your track bar bushings and bracket bolts. From my experience looseness in the track bar causes "wandering" and of course, death wobble if its severe or other parts are worn as well.

i have re-aligned and the track bar is a couple months old. and i had someone shake the jeep while i checked it. i dont get it is it possible the steering box is bad?

Hey guys I have the same problem! I had my wheels aligned and tightened the track bar but the swerving is still there although it's not as bad as before it was like a drunken sailor!!! It started happening after the 4" lift and new ball joints replacement and transmission etc.
When I get this 100% fixed I'll post the results/ answers.
