Hey guys got an 88 cherokee limited 4x4 4.0 136,000 miles on it, stock suspention. have been dealing with DW for a while. Parts replaced, Trackbar, tires, upper and lower 4 link bushings, shocks. Alignment was just done tie rods and all other steering components seem to be in good shape(no Play). Almost forgot new rotors and pads, and all new U-joints even knowing this probably would have nothing to do with DW. Now here is what I have found. The trackbar is an autozone unit with under 10k miles on it. But it is my main suspect for the DW I keep getting. The track bar has a factory looking rubber bushing in it. If I get some one to move the steering wheel back and forth while being under the truck looking at the track bar bushing there is a solid 1/2" of back and forth movement/compression in that bushing. No Play in it, just seems like a very weak bushing. I have seen polyurethane bushings for this. Do they work? I have also looked to try to find a track-bar with a heim joint or the like with less movement. Where can I find these, and do you think I may have found the cause of the DW. Thank you for the help!!
