snagging a MM??? not possible ... he either hit soemthing hard enough to bust it ot he knows how to use the skinny pedal to get up some nasty hill climbs.
look at the placement of the tires in relation to the body ... if one sticks out farther than the other, then the tracbar is bent ...
tierod ... get off your ass, get under the jeep, and look at it ... IIRC the ZJ only has one factory bend in it at the passenger side knuckle ... other than that it would be straight ... but 'sloppy steering' doesnt seem like a TR to me ... a bent TR will just cause the truck to ignore steering input until you get anough pressure on the tires to make the vehicle turn ... and when it turnsm its turns like there is no tomorrow ... basically making it dangerous to drive ...
sloppy steering is usually caused by a bad / worn Tierod end (TRE), or Dragrod end (DRE .... both TRE and DRE are the same, i just like to differentiate between the two)
