What did you do? The Jeep did it completely stock, they replaced the Steering stabilizer, 2 weeks after had that done I went with a 2.5 Skyjacker lift, just shocks and springs. I also installed a Skyjacker H/ D Stabilizer. The Jeep will still DW at speeds above 50mph, when you hit a bump. I got it aligned last Fri they said the ball joints on the right side upper and lower were worn. This is a reputable shop that is known by my dealer. Talked to dealer today, and he looked at it, and did a State inspection. He said his Tech didnt see anything wrong with them. Hmmm??? WTF. Oh well its still under warranty so I have a little while longer before is gonna cost me. Has anyone else had this happen, stock or lifted?

Steering angles are off. do you have lift installed? how much? did kit include drop pitman arm? even a coil spring spacer kit can create enough mis-alignment to create it! some need the re-alignment, some don't every jeep is different.

Is this the wobble that occurs when you hit a bump in the turns?
