Well hopefully this is the last post regarding this issue bevause for right now all the pull and wobble is gone at all speeds. The culprit(s) ended up being bad tires. One or maybe two having broke belts.

So just a few posts back, the one where I got the two tires on the front and I said the pull was gone but it was still wobbling. But mentioned that it was a different wobble and not as bad.

I then put the old tires on the front and the newer ones on the back to see what happened. It started pulling left again and the wobble was as bad or worse than ever.

Went to get two more tires on front and the one on the front left had a broke belt. I had suspected this last Saturday.

Put the tires on and now so far, so good. So I'm thinking at least 2 of the original tires were bad. I know one day I'll have to change the ball and u joints. Although, my red 94 had 272,000 and was original. The thing was still my daily driver when I parked it but it was beat

Nice!!!!! Glad to hear you're up and running.

I had a bad tire on my old TJ and it blew my mind how freaking bad the vibration could be even though the tire "looked" great.
