    OK on a '94 ZJ w/2.25" BB(mine)

    When going down the road, if I hit a bump on the drivers side tire(farly hard like 45mph plus) I get this wobble that trys to pull the steering wheel out of your hands. If I slow down to about 10 MPH it goes away and I can continue driving. This has only happened twice. Bushings all look good, tie rod ends all good no play. Kinda lots. Would a bad alignment cause this? Help please...

    Alignment could.

    I would start with the trackbar though. Lay under there and have someone move the steering wheel back and forth. Look at the trackbar & the bushings & bracket for any movement. Movement is bad. Very bad.

    Step 1: Google "death wobble"

    Step 2: Spend next 30 years of your life reading everything you find.

    By the time you're done your Jeep will be a pile of rust anyways so who cares.
