2002, TJ, 4.0L, no lift, standard tires.
For the last week, I've notice a "wobble" in the steering wheel. If I'm making a left turn, the steering wheel give little "kicks" to the right. It does it on both side, but more pronounced when turning left. It does not do it when standing still. Also no strange noise from the steering. Just this annoying fighting with the steering wheel when turning.
There is still about 2 ft of snow and freezing temperatures so I have not looked under the car.
Anything to look for? Leaking steering hydraulics, broken tie rod, bent something, low hydraulic oil level
Thanks for the great help. I've fixed a few problems on a few different cars with you guys.
