Default Help wheel hop

I made a post before no one really answered me.... I took my 35"s off and left my 3" lift on yes it looks retarded now with factory 16 wheel package... everytime i hit a chuck hole the passenger side right front starts wobbling crazy.... which then makes the whole jeep rattle around to where it sounds like it could fall apart.. A person said it looks like I dont have any tie rod ends ..... I need help fast.

Sounds like typical "death wobble." Since you have a basic 3" lift, start by checking all suspension components for proper torque.

Especially the trackbar bolts.

I just had the same thing happen. Did it just start when you switched back to your stockers? Mine did and they replaced the steering stabilizer which was a band aid. The real prob is the tires being out of balance.
