I have my 01 xj dd that all of a sudden since i have put so much time into fixin the front end makes a knock or pull when i turn right or left. its almost like it is in 4wd feeling but this happens when im in 2wd. any resolutions? I have put a lift on ot and had to rework with a track bar bracket. Could it be that I need new Zirk fittings??

if you checked everything with the track bar and drop bracket...and your ball joints have no play...id check your TRE...thats what caused some wandering and a slight klunking noise in mine....does it pop more than it pulls?...might also wanna check your front u joints
