Here’s the deal (yes, I searched).
When starting out (from a stop) with the wheel turned (either direction) I get a shimmy. The steering wheel pretty much pulses side-to-side. I took the XJ (’98) to a local alignment shop and they said that I need new: ball joints (upper & lower, both sides), tie rod end, track bar, alignment. The total OTD quote was $650 and that is pretty steep.
Does it sound like they narrowed down the problem well enough?
Does the price seem fair?
I’m pretty decent with a wrench…should I just give it a shot?
Thanks
