I'm a first time jeep owner, having bought a 99 TJ 4x4 just under a year ago. My jeep came with 33" Trxus tires, and has I believe a 4" lift. Driving the vehicle I realized it would take some getting used too, and I have. Lately (last 4 mos or so) I have developed what I classify as a severe "shimmy". The vehicle sometimes will steer a little on me and requires a fair amount of extra concentration and handling to keep it on the road. It is enhanced when I'm at speeds of around 50 to 60 mph and either push on the accelerator or even worse let off the gas (most reaction) It does have a steering stabilizer which I have recently replaced and hasn't helped the problem. I really love my jeep and love driving it, but it is becoming a safety hazard and a chore to drive sometimes. I will be happy to provide as much more info as I can to any of y'all that would like to try to help me out.
