Any ideas why my wheel is hopping when I turn? I haven't touched anything in months, just been driving it normally. The other day I could feel my wheel jerking when I turned at slow speeds.
Not really sure where the look first.

Front, I can feel it in my steering wheel. When I turn with my hands off the wheel it jerks pretty bad.

perhaps your junk is stuck in 4WD?  sounds like what the jeep will do on pavement in 4x4 part time |

Yeah its not in part time, but it is similar to what you feel when you turn with the wheels locked in part time.

you probably need an alignment or a tie rod end. Have someone turn the wheel side to side while you look under there to see if anything is loose.

I was thinking tie rod ends too. I never got an alignment after my new wheels and tires, but I didn't go drastically bigger. I'll have it done, along with a laundry list of other shit.
