I'm a first time jeep owner, having bought a 99 TJ 4x4 just under ayear 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 usedtoo, and I have. Lately (last 4 mos or so) I have developed what Iclassify as a severe "shimmy". The vehicle sometimes will steer alittle on me and requires a fair amount of extra concentration andhandling to keep it on the road. It is enhanced when I'm at speeds ofaround 50 to 60 mph and either push on the accelerator or even worselet off the gas (most reaction) It does have a steering stabilizerwhich I have recently replaced and hasn't helped the problem. I reallylove my jeep and love driving it, but it is becoming a safety hazardand a chore to drive sometimes. I will be happy to provide as much moreinfo as I can to any of y'all that would like to try to help me out.
