The wife has a Jeep Cherokee with the death wobble. I need help replacing the drag link and end joints. Would anybody be able to help me out with this? I've never done this and I tried once with no luck.

Mike they are known for burning through brakes.. you could have a frozen caliper or pin. Wheels should be torqued to avoid warping rotors.
So I guess what I'm saying.. Are you sure ??

I have a friend up in North Haven who says I can use his private lift (in his single-bay home garage) anytime I need it, but I haven't even talked to him since last fall. How long do you guess the job would take, Mike?
