something is wrong, need help

[The_Dealer]

Ok, so I took my calipers off and checkes the bearings. When a helper pushes on the front of the jeep, it looks as the only thing moving is the tires. I'm about to go buy a pressure guage as I think the tire pressure is kinda low. I also measured for toe, from the like spots on the tire. I have 1/2" of toe in. As in the rear of.the tire is farther then the front. Tire pressure is 31

Could it be the alignment

Well, we know the axle movement is the problem. It should not move at all so I'm willing to bet that either one or more of your CAs are the source of your woes. Your controle arms are what keep it in place so if the bushings are wallered out or if they are bent or twisted, they are not going to be able to function as they should. Allignment or toe agnle wouldnt necessarally cause this issue, instead would more cause un even tire ware, and / or obviously a constent pull to either side rather than a jerkiness as you discribed.
When you can get the tools, definately take some time to remove the CAs and inspect the bushings for both upper and lower.

Well looking at it this morning when I get a helper to push the side of thl jeep, the axle doesnt move. It only shifts a little bit when its parked and someone turns the wheel. But I can't really tell if its just the tires letting the whole jeep move. My stepdad will be bacl tonight to unlock the shop so I can check it out. I'll try to post a video of what's going on

Just run it by a reputable shop and have them diagnose it.  Can u get it to Allsouth?

Its going to be either a TRE, control arm bushing or track bar related.

Track bar is probably loose we can check it tomorrow.

I agree with the track bar. My old set up did that from time to time. Bolt was loose and you could turn the wheel and watch the axle shift left and right some. Just a little play is all it takes.

The only part of a 5 link suspension that centers the axle under the Jeep is the Trac Bar. Tighten the lower bolt (I believe it is a Torx bit) This should fix your problem.

Also jack up the tire (one at a time) Put a big pry bar under the tire and lift up - if the tire moves up and down with the prying movement then get someone to look at the upper & lower ball joints while you pry. You will be able to tell if one has play. This is much easier than taking your front end apart. Or bring it to Allsouth = Free diagnostic = no tools needed </LMAO/>

Well my 350 mile drive showed me that the toe was the culprit. I was able to maintain my lane, and it was even windy as heck. I am going to replace all the bushings, then new f&r track bars when I lift her
