Jeeps on the highway
#17
Huh... My XJ rolls awesome down the highway, it likes to cruise at 75MPH!
I have a 3" Spacer Lift and 31's, just replaced my Trackbar and all other front end components are good.
I can leave my hand of the wheel for miles!

I'm not even running a front sway bar and mine runs fine down the highway. Get it aligned and while they are doing it get em to check all your bushings up front.

This is very true. My stabilizer blew out and spewed all its oil on the ground. I have yet to replace it and it made NO difference in handling/steering or anything.

The factory part is not greaseable. If you have a new one built, it will come with a greasable joint. If this is your problem, you should be able to feel vibration right at your feet. I had a shaft built for my jeep and i think it was around 170 bucks with u-joints.
