Okay, in the past week I drove around a few days without the front driveshaft. That made no difference. I replaced the tires with some nearly new ones. The new tires helped some, but the problem is still there. I had suspected that whatever the problem is was wearing the tires and making it...

I replaced the front axle u-joints. It made no difference. I almost want to say it's coming from the rear axle. (It's hard to tell because the springs are worn out and the shocks aren't the greatest, so I feel any bumps and wobbles through the whole Jeep.) It's something that's grabbing or...

I did do the grab the tire and wiggle it test. At 12 and 6, it is solid. At 9 and 3, the wheels do move, but like they're making a turn, the whole brake assembly and the tie rod move with them. This is supposed to be this way, right? The u-joints are visibly fine. They don't look new, but they...

Sorry if this isn't the right place for this question. Somebody backed into my Jeep and hit it on the driver's side rear. My jeep was parked with the parking brake on. It crushed the bumper cap, which is no huge deal, but what I'm concerned about is the rear end got moved over about 3 inches...
