Won't be getting a check up anytime soon as I have been out of work for 14 months.

I would get another SUV (im not a car person) but I really don't like other SUVs besides the EB Broncos and I dont have the time or money to take care of one of those. Until then its a jeep.

Oh yeah one more thing when I got my Jeep I had some 15 inch wheel and tires on it but then I upgraded to the larger BF Goodrich tarz with 17 inch moab wheels. Woudl that create any kind of difference?

Alignment cost vs new tires cost. Hmmmm????

Dude.... just man up and align your "car". In an earlier post u said u are a jeep guy, and I can promise just about everyone whose commented in here would disagree. You have bashed the axle (or lack there of since u have a 2wd model) , you have bashed suspension, you have praised the prius, you have neglected your "car" and blame the forum for bad advise, you used the excuse of living in California for not having time to fix or trouble shoot it... yet u have time fiddle with your phone to chat to everyone here. Fix your dang car dude.

Tell you what, I frequent LA. I'll take your offer to see your rig. But, gotta warn ya, I don't sugar coat anything. I'm a gear head, do 99% of my own work on my vehicles . You have a place we can get the front axle unloaded? And, when I identify the problem is beyond the "bad help" you had on the forum, I will ask you to write up a rebuttal and apologize to forum members. Deal?
