97 TJ feels squirrely, looking for someone to look at it or a shop near Hill AFB

[DsmRacing]

Hey guys',
Drove my TJ last night for the first time and it feels like it is all over the road. It's a 4.0L with a 3" lift and I believe a 2" body lift. I've read what death wobble feels like, and it's not like that. It feels like it has a hard time tracking straight at times, but the steering wheel isn't shaking and I could turn if needed. The rear is locked as well, I believe a detroit. I think it may have a short arm kit as well, but no idea of brand.

Before I really start digging into it, I'd like to take it somewhere or someone and have it looked over, before I blindly start replacing parts. Anyone/place close to Layton/Clearfield area?

Thanks,

Chad

Locked TJ with a short arm is all over the road

it could just need an alignment. if you don't have enough positive caster, it will tend to wander.

your pitman arm nut could be loose...my buddy has an o2 tj and has to tighten it every couple weeks even after the after market lock nut. bfr does the trick

Had Seth look at it over the weekend. For the most part everything looked normal. Dropping it off tomorrow at Russ's Alignment shop. See what they say.

Nothing wrong, tightened up some bolts front and rear and adjusted the toe. It is better but it still wanders and told me that this is normal. Oh well, it's drivable and I feel more comfortable.
