I have a 1998 XJ with a 5" lift with 33" super swampers.

The only aftermarket parts i have in my front end is the usual pitman arm, track bar and sway bar links.

My problem is that when I ride on the highways i get alot(more then normal) of vibrations and wobble in the steering wheel. My tires are all balanced and aligned and I can't seem to figure out whats causing it..

Last summer I rode with those tires and never had that problem, but when I put them on this summer I had all sorts of speed wobble and thats when i got my tires balanced and front end aligned but still i have problems.

if anyones got any ideas let me know,,, money is an issue!!!

 

Hey,
I would suggest the steering damper (looks like a shock) on the steering rods. I had the same problem this year when i put my summers (22's) and lookes under the truck to find the damper was dinged from all the fun i have on my winters.

Hope this helps

 

Well I changed my damper a couple months ago and its just OEM not aftermarket..
also I have a little bit of play in my steering so i was thinking it could be that too,,,,
its definitly a "death wobble"
I did some research on it and found a couple sites on death wobble troubleshooting

 

You do not mention what u are using for upper & lower control arms.. surely you are not using stock u&lca's and you have not mentioned if you have any abnormal tire wear?

Let us know abt the control arms u r using?

 

I had the same problem and found out they didnt balance them right so I had it balanced with the sand in the tires and all is well so far.

 

ballanced with sand in the tires ?

 

Do you store it in the wintertime? Might be a flat spot on the tire.
