Hi, my son's Jeep steering is hard to control while driving. It shifts from side to side like you are oversteering it. Had the alignment checked and it was good. I installed new shocks on it recently and it does have a 4" lift w/NEW 33" BF Goodrich. Not sure on what this problem is but it needs fixed. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks

See my profile,

Imma CJ guy, I do not know a lot about your rig, this may help you a little, You might discuss this stuff with several "Reputable Alignment Shops" Particularly ones that deal with bigger Trucks.

Let me know your results

Hi mudisbetter, My 1988 wrangler does the same thing. Usually when shifting into third and fourth gear or taking my foot off the gas will do it to. The whole jeep will move to the side. Was wondering if you found anything out and why yours does the same?

Thanks,
Scott
