Oh only a few THOUSAND TIMES



Usually its the plastic bushes in the steering relay ( idler arm for want of a better description). Normal price is around the $16 a set, avoid the "rubber" type, useless as breasts on a bull.

Alternativly its replacement time for the steering damper. ( fit a 'return to center damper' .... much better for offroad use)

They are the 2 "main" causes and generally a good place to start looking.... but ....

Also check wheel bearings ( excesive play can cause the wobbles)
Dont forget to check the Kingpin bearings while you are at it ...
And it may be a good time to check all ya tierod ends to

Have a happy w/end
