Is the vanilla roasted in the beans or is it added to the coffee sounds interesting the only reason I'm asking

It's in the pod. Just press the button.

I need that for my garden!

He just put a brand new set of fire stones on it and had them balance so I don't think it's the tires

Guessing it's called bump steering - had it on my 2005 when I purchased it - medium lift with 33" tires. Google says need to restore the angles of the track bar and drag link so they're close to factory spec.

Thanks for that

Hay @DarkWeb got a quick question for the Jeep Guru a death wobble at 55 when you hit a bump you have any ideas what that could be?

Those two lines are your track bar and drag link. It's point to point.....don't worry about if the bars have any bend in them. The bends are for clearance only.

The closer to parallel they are the better for bump steer.

As for the wobble it's probably a worn out bushing or tie rod end. Best to get the weight off the tires. Grab a pry bar and pry between all the ends.....if something moves more than normal it's most likely the culprit. You can also have someone saw the steering wheel side to side with weight on the tires while you look under the front end for abnormal movement.

Had the pitman arm and his sway bar as my targets I appreciate it a lot thank you so very much

my money is on the tie rod ends i just had to replace mine and get a wheel alignment after

You beat me to it ... dusty backroads have caused us to replace tie rods cause of worn out bushings before their time.

Sway bar would thump....not give a shake.

some genius had tryed to replace the tie rod end before and snapped off the locking pin trying to get it out, and then just put it all back together, so i had to drill that out first, before i got my new tie rod on

 

[DarkWeb]

Oh an good morning

Sounds good to me think I'll take the kids out for snacks later. The snacks are at the other end of a winding mountain road with great views....

A punch and hammer work great too. Couple whacks and they usually pop right out.

Good morning. It's pretty chilly here today. I poked at my outdoor plant, it doesn't seem to mind.

yeah it was pretty well rusted in there, thats why the previous owner gave up, i used a punch to make a guide for the drill and got her sorted that way.

It was kind of funny just got done doing a brake job on it took it out for a test drive and hit a bump doing 55 and the thing turned into and unbalanced washing machine lol

Just thinking here.....did the shake happen while you where on the brakes? Did you make sure to lube the sliders on the calipers?

Information that was reveal to me when I drop the vehicle off was that he had rolled the vehicle and the death wobble has been there ever since

And yes I did and since I did the rotors and the drums in the back I took a power drill with a wire brush on it and cleaned it all

Another pitfall of back road and dirt lane dust.
