Last time I got off the trail I noticed the Jeep wasn't handling quite the same on the road. This morning I noticed that if I come to a hard stop (straight ahead) the Jeep no longer rocks front to back, but side to side as well. That leads me to believe that I've got either a shock or a strut that is bad. A quick inspection does not show any leaks. So how do I find out what needs to be replaced?

Nevermind. I jumped on the bumpers front and rear. Within seconds I had it narrowed down to the driver's side shock. That corner of the Jeep was bouncing around like crazy and there was a faint squeek.

Ordered some new Ranchos from All Js this afternoon.
