dw
start your jeep and have someone get in and move the steering wheel back and fourth as hard /fast as they can and climb under grabbing all the components feeling for play in any parts. I found a bad heim joint in the frt track bar this way.

DW Fans-
I witnessed a guy in an Unlimited having this issue today east of Pittsburgh on the parkway. I was behind him, and I though for sure those front wheels were comming off. I thought maybe his lugs weren't tight. As he pulled to the shoulder it stopped, and then he proceeded.

I got the dw last week coming home from work and it was the first time i had someone pull up beside me and comment on what they saw. Same thing they told me to check my front tire. I think they were a little freaked out.

That's comforting to hear. I installed the AEV 3" kit a week ago and handles outstandingly. That is, until I hit the right bump on the interstate at 75mph. Felt like I was trying to re-enter the earth's atmoshere at the wrong angle in a jeep. Should have seen the traffic part away from me on the interstate. I have ordered lower adjustable control arms and will check the track bar. Hopefully this'll get it. I think Ace Ventura said it best, "I'm looking for Ray Finkle (substitute death wobble solution)... and a clean pair of shorts."

Best to make sure this person doesn't have any bones to pick, isn't the beneficiary of any life insurance policies and most of all doesn't suspect you of cheating on them.
