Recently I brought my 08JKU to a a shop down the shore that I have never been to before. When my rig was in at my mechanic less then two weeks ago to have the radiator replaced I had him look over the front end to see if it would need anything other than an alignment, he thought no. He wanted me to bring the jeep for an alignment at a place which specializes in Jeeps since he does not do wheel alignments.
When I brought the jeep down to this specifically jeep only shop they came back to me with an estimate of about $1,300 instead of just an alignment. They said I would need new Tie Rod ends and ball joins (they want to put in Synergy Jk Suspension Chromoly Tie Rod & Synergy or Dynatrac Pro Steer ball joints).
My mechanic is very trust worthy and has always told me what needs to be done and what does not; however, he is a european not Jeep specialist like this other shop.
About 10k miles ago I brought my truck in for new tires and to fix the death wobble at my tire shop and they replaced Tie Rod Inner (the end from the drag link to the pitman arm), the tie rod adjustment sleeve, and drag link ends. Though, I do get a slight, weird shake from around 45-60 mph, the steering is clearly crooked, and the truck does not like to drive straight on the highway.
Is there any help the forums can provide it would be greatly appreciated!!
