Here's some history.. My Jeep one day started to get very strange steering quirks. It pops and knocks sometimes and I can't tell whats wrong. First it deffinitly was the trac-bar (Rusty's). I swapped it out for an RE with and HD mount. Things seemed to get better from there but not for long. I went wheeling once, not even that hardcore, and she was loose again and now the steering wheel is off center. Now when I turn the wheel I notice a shutter in the tire at a certain point. I got underneath it and noticed that a tie rod end was shot. I hav since replaced the tie rod end which tightened it up a bit but its still somewhat noisy.
-If my Jeep is off and I shake the wheel back and forth I can here a knocking/popping noise.
-The shutter in the wheel is going from completely turned left going back to straight and if you turn the wheel back in forth in that area the tire will repeatedly shitter and make something like a pop/click.
-When I back out of my driveway my rear tires obviously go first and then my drivers front goes because of the way I turn out and my steering will pop or clunk when that tire falls off the maybe 2" drop from my driveway to the street.
Everything is tight, some things are new, everythings been greased and this is truly driving me nuts.
If you can help me out please do.
BTW specs are 00 4.0 4x4 but the front end is a Hp D30 out of an 1996 but it has my 00 steering and brakes on it.
