You could have a broken belt in the tire ? Or missing weights ?

Oh I see , yeah my money is on tires as a culprit.
The trip down everything was fine on the way back my JTM decided it wanted to partake in the Jeep life.

Nothing doing 70+ mph in the passing and and holy fuck, I'm a long for the ride lol; it was fuckin violent AF woke my 14yo son up from a dead sleep lol.

So I have still have the MC steering box to track bar reenforcement bracket to install. I added the MC Sector shaft bracket back a couple months ago and everything was cool until yesterday. Prior to the trip(like always) I checked and verified torque on everything and all was good.

I've had this truck to 13 different states up and down the east coast and almost 32k miles since new and never a problem.

So if y'all have ideas as the Jeep SMEs I'm all ears. Thanks in advance gents

Tires can be a cause, but you generally have other symptoms as well.

I bent one of my previous aluminum rims didnt even know it till I rotated tires 🙃. Then I remembered I was doing about 30 out this dirt road and went into a curve and there was a rock sticking up ,I hit it was about an unlucky moment , I thought we'll crap looked at everything didnt see anything unusual. But then when I rotated that rear tire to the front .
Woe Neely hang on. Crap like that usually dont even crop up till ya hit the highway.

You must be really used to loose, wobbly or harsh riding stuff!
The rim on the rear was the one that got warped . . Just alot of curvy small roads . And Im usually rolling on.

Yeah alignment wise the steering wheel is off slightly, but if I take my hand off the wheel it stays straight
