i would go back and recheck your alignment. your tie rod may have not been torqued down properly and a pot hole could have shaken somethign loose.

How much air are you running in your tires? Until my tires broke in, I hated the ride my factory Rubicon tires provided. Lowering the PSI in them helped but give it a bit of time and that will help too.

I run 28 psi on my factory tires. Helped smooth out my ride and no problems. Other that the low tire thing on the dash, procal soon to fix that.

Holy smokes!! WAY TOO MUCH air. Try bringing that back down to a more reasonable 30-32 psi. Trust me, it'll help a lot and even make your ride a bit nicer.

don't understand why Chrysler sets 37 as factory other than to get the mileage higher.
around town I run around 32 on long trips I'll run it at 37 or higher for mileage.
as mentioned, once your tires break in they'll be better.
at about 3000 miles you may want to do a chalk test to see how they are wearing at your psi and adjust to get the best tread pattern
