  2. Heavy Shimmy In Steering Wheel. What is it?

    Looking for help on whatā€™s causing my steering wheel to go haywire when hitting bumps going under 50mph. I havenā€™t experienced this before installing my 2.5 MC lift on Friday so itā€™s maybe related to that. I have a month old JKS trackbar so I know itā€™s not that, Iā€™ve put a wrench on every...

  4. Death Wobble with factory lift?!

    I have a 2022 unlimited sahara with a factory Fox 2" lift. I did not upgrade the tires and rims yet and also have not upgraded the steering stabilizer.

  5. Tie Rod Issue?

    Question: Does my tie rod end on the driver side look normal as I turn my steering wheel back and forth? It might be hard to see from the video, but I notice a gap appears between the folds of the boot as I turn the wheels to the right. Does that imply possible damage underneath the boot...

To keep things simple, I am only interested in what your Jeep did with the stock suspension, stock wheels, and stock tires. No wheel spacers...
