hey guys

my TJ Sports AWD is really shitting me to tears lately.

compared to my TJ VRX, which is super smooth and super straight when on a flat road, the AWD is really 'darty', and will randomly jerk left or right depending on undulations/potholes etc in the road. I really have to keep a tight hold on the wheel all the time and can feel the wheel fighting against me when on some of adelaide's shittier roads. The VRX on the exact same roads stays straight and true.

is this likely to be the lower control arms? and if so, how much can i expect to pay in adelaide to get them replaced? i really dont want to be spending much money on this car, it was only bought as an interim car until i find a nice XR6 turbo. :)

I assume you have had a wheel alignment and then had it checked elsewhere to make sure is right, this can be a huge factor.

Other than that could also be rack, if the proportioning valve is playing up will make the steering super sensitive
