I got the CEL issue all straightened out, because of the awsome help I got here! After replacing the motor in my cherokee I fell in love with it again and i'm looking to fix some of its problems. Any speed above 60 I get a terrible shake, it sometimes goes away while going around a bend. Also, the steering wheel feels extremly sloppy. While traveling at highway speeds I can move the wheel about 2-3" to the left and right and it will not affect the direction I'm traveling. It's not as bad in city driving, but it's still sloppy. I also have this anoying ticking sound coming from under the hood, almost sounds like a metal clank more than a tick and it occurs while accelerating or braking. Thanks for any help or advice you can give. :)

Check the track bar for sloppiness. Have someone crank the wheel back-n-forth while you inspect and feel all the joints for play. I'm betting you'll find the upper joint on the track bar is worn out and moving.

can you buy replacement bushings ? I tired searching on advance's site and cannot even find the track bar. Is there another name for it ?
