Default A wierd wobble

hey guys.
i'm back with yet another issue with the ongoing project that is my jeep. this is, i believe a tire or suspension problem, but i wanted your input. whenever i go to make a semi-sharp turn in it, it does a wierd side to side shake, or wobble, or whatever you want to call it. it just makes turning a hassle. oh, i'll add in that the tires also squeal alot when it makes any kind of semi-sharp turn. I will appreciate and take into consideration any input, so please feel free to give some feedback.
thanks

if it's wobbling in tight turns only, I would say front axle U-joiunts are bad. Reach in a try to shake the inner or outer axle at the knuckle U-joint. If either moves at all you have a bad U-joint.
