I've been living with this for awhile and I think it's time to get it fixed. When on the freeway our TJ tends to wander around. I've checked underneath and there's a tiny bit of play on the arm coming from the power stering. everything elese looks ok.

Does anyone know a shop that's real good at Jeep alignment, steering etc I can go to and get some help?

I don't know enought to be able to tell where the problem is.

Thanks in advance.

I've always had good luck with East County Alignment out in Santee.  They did a great job on my ZJ when I had steering issues.

How much lift? Sway bar, stock or aftermarket? CHeck ball joints and rod ends.

Roger Daniels Alignment
He's a little pricey but he specilaizes in Jeeps and 4 x 4. Roger is a Jeep guy.

All stock except wheels. Running stock Rubican wheels and tires. I can check stuff but don't know what's acceptable. Kinda need a pro to look and tell me what's wrong.

Willing to pay for the help.

Besides loose components not having enough toe in can cause that too
