Been there on a Motorcycle, NOT fun AT ALL....and very, VERY REAL...
My CJ get a bit of a wobble occasionally also, but nothing so severe as
what
I know as the "Death Wobble"
On another note, my CJ is a 75 and has a tendency to wander, tracks more
or
less straight, but I have to sorta "corrale" it in the lane. What is the
most likely culprit, steering box, linkages, what?
