hey all,
i recently upgraded to one-ton steering, the JCR offroad kit. basically, if you dunno, its a knuckle to knuckle tie rod where the draglink connects to the TRE on the passenger side. i have the tires toed in about 3/16"s of an inch, and i didnt get the steering wheel perfectly centered, but its close. the drag link and track bar are parallel. rolling on old ass 33" bias ply swampers that are unevenly worn and most likely not as balanced as they once were.
i have no bumpsteer at all and the steering is very tight. only problems i am having is a slight wander (random; all speeds) and at 50-55mph i am getting wobbles (not even close to DW, just enough to freak out passengers, and be annoying) no wobbles at other speeds, and they are not bump-induced, come and go with 50-55mph only each and every time.
i keep telling myself the wobble is from the old tires, and if i were to get new ones it would go away. i never had any wobble since i lifted the jeep, but i still think its the tires, perhaps it was getting progressively worse and i never noticed till i got knuckle to knucle TR.
yall think it could just be the tires? or maybe bad angles?

all replaced when lift went on last year:
track bar mount reinforced, new trackbarm, new steering gear box, new ball joints, new TRE (obviously), new uca and lca, new shocks, new springs, new swaybar bushings, new stabilizer, even new lug nuts.
