See my profile,
I do not know alot about your rig,
Check some of this stuff before you take it to a shop.
1) See if you lost a wheel weight........Or loose lug nuts.
2) See if you have a glob of mud caked up on the inside of a rim.
3) Check your tire pressure
4) Insure you are running "Alike Tires"
5) Have someone move your steering wheel, back and forth (1/4 Turn or so) While you watch your tie rods and other steering components for "Movement between the joints" (you should have no slack in the joints)
6) Raise the Jeep, from the outward side, pull the wheel toward you with one hand at 12 O'clock the other push at 6 O'clock......Then do the opposite------Do the same at 3 and 9, Looking for play in the spindle or worn wheel bearings.
7) If that don't do it take it to a reputable alignment shop.
DO NO TAKE CHANCES WITH YOUR STEERING!!!
Let me know what you come up with,
