sit down, stop laughing, i have a valid JEEP RELATED question.....
i think ive ask this back when steve was talking about steering stabilizer's...and dont remember the answer.....ive got a 2.5" suspension lift and 35" tires, i rotate and balance the tires with each oil change at 5k, but still have a vibration\wobble, or "looseness" feel in the steering wheel? should i upgrade the steering stabilizer, would that help?

38psi, it was higher but was way too bouncy...it's just a bit "floaty" not scary loose at all. as for checking everything, i had the lift\wheels\tires done almost a year ago here in town and drove it right to mark in ardmore becuase he has that high-end balancer, he recommended the 38psi and it did soften the ride. but while he had it i asked him to go back and double check everything that had been done to make sure it all looked right and was tight? did he? i dunno...guess i should re-check all that huh? and yes, it's been this way since i drove him home....

If that does not work, I would check your steering components are properly torqued down. Many death wobble instances are caused by your bolts loosening a bit. If you don't have a good torque wrench, have a trusted mechanic do it.

Sounds like it might be re-torquing time for your jeep. My nuts loosened up after about six months of not touching them. (where's Anthony at when you say something that's just begging for a snappy comeback. Oh well, I guess we'll leave it up to Corporal Brokemyshytt. Yea, that's right. You've been demoted...again.)
