Getting the Wheeling Fever
Another qustion for the experts. My 2006 Rubicon Unlimited has about 15K miles. Stock suspension but changed my tires from the Goodyear MTR's to the Goodyear Silent Armor (more of an all terain rather than mud terain). Tires seem to be wearing evenly. Whenever I'm on a slight curve around 40 to 50 MPH, if I hit a gap in the pavement or a bump the steering wheel starts a rapid side to side wobble, sometimes it comes back to control fairly fast but recently it seems to be getting worse. The other day it did it so bad I had to pull over to a stop to get it under control. Anybody got any ideas what might be going wrong? It seems to have started a year ago and is getting worse over time.
