Took my old jeep out for a test drive today. Figured I'd better finish building it or sell it.
After two years she started with no problem once I had the battery reset. Runs smooth as hell still, shifts into drive a little hard but if i remember correctly i had that problem before.
I know the rear shocks are shot but now it feels super loose when i take corners.
If i park it and grab one tire i can rock the whole car pretty good.
Any ideas? I think i know whats wrong but i cant think of the part name...that connects the axel to the frame..
thanks guys

Oh. Heh. Wrong Jeep! I was thinking CJ, YJ
As I recall, your axle is connected to the frame by control arms, sometimes called trailing arms. They also have bushings, like the leaf springs, that can fail over time.
However...
Does it have a limited slip differential? Sometimes they need a bottle of additive to make the clutches not bind in turns, that's another possibility.

Track bar bushing. Or the track bar itself. I have a 98 and I LOVE it. Looking for another one.

track bar...thank you thats the name i couldnt remember.
The bushing look like @!#$ im pretty sure thats where the problem lies...
Bill it does but thats def not the problem... Its def loose components.
And the control arm is what im going to replace...actually i think just the bushings now that i found those seperatly...
