The right front wheel when I drive seems to pull and make the jeep swerve to the right. The wheel feels like its wobbling off the axle. It makes a herky jerky movement when pulling out and turning.

Sounds like a wheel bearing but could also be the ball joints. Jack up the tire and slide a bar under and wiggle the tire up and down. Any play in the ball joints will show up here. Also while in the air, with your hands, try and push and pull the wheel to see if it wobbles up and down. This will tell you how loose the wheel bearings are. Also, check your front axle u joint. These can dry out and bind causing a funny feeling and hard to turn wheel. Hope this helps and let us know. Curt
