You know you drive an XJ when it ran/sounded better when it was running with 4 quarts of oil than when you just changed the oil.

got one happened today...well actually every time i drive it.

you know you drive an xj when you hit a pot hole at speed, and get scared cause it goes in directions you dont want it too.

when you let your friend whose got a lowered golf drive it, and he almost ****s his pants the first time he hits a hole and experiences massive bump steer.

is there a way to fix that? ball joints and alignment right??

Careful about asking tech questions in a off topic thread. It will get them closed. The search is your friend.

Here is a start. Frank has some good stuff for bump steer.

You know you drive an xj when you are buying everyday things and you think to yourself "do i really need this? Or can the money i would have spent on this be put towards the jeep?"

you know you drive an xj when you try to drive any other rig and expect it to turn just as tight as your jeep and end up making a 3 point turn because of it
(happens to me everyday... and for some reason i think one day my cargo van is magically gonna turn tighter haha)

You know you drive an XJ when you spend a week changing out major components, only to have the said XJ not start do to some minor component breaking when it was being worked on.
