Just bought a 2005 liberty 3.7l with a 6spd Manual Trans, I own a 2006 TJ, on a full frankenlift, caged, locked on 35's and a 2010 WK hemi, stock. the KJ seems to have a issue where when driving it darts to the right, and at slow speeds the front vibrates, i'm thkning it's the front struts. but would that affect the vehicle darting? |

I'm thinking more something to do with worn steering or TREs. Vibration... check rotating components for play; i.e. CVs, wheel bearings, etc. |

If you haven't already, check your upper and lower ball joints! Also, as stated above, check the steering rod ends for play and have someone flat-steer while you look down from under the hood at the rack and pinion. If it moves more than about 1/8" in any direction your R&P bushings are probably shot. I hope for your sake that they aren't! Replacing them requires full removal of the R&P which is a nightmare. |

Replacing them requires full removal of the R&P which is a nightmare. I managed to changes the driver side bushing without removing the rack. Much easier than I had anticipated. Spillage from messy oil filter changes tend to degrade the rubber bushing. |
