bent tie rod causing wobble?
got a good wobble on my JK this morning going to work. It was not DW since all I had to do was slow down very slightly and it went away. Was going 35 mph, slowed to 25 mph and it stopped. II had DW before and that was some crazy violent shit. This felt like the very begining of DW but didnt get bad. It is also not a tire balance issue. I know what that feels like and I have a contacnt tire shimmy at 45 mph and I am used to that. This was something else. I checked lower control arms and track bar, all torque to factory spec.
I did bend my tierod inwards at rausch lasat month fairly badly, comes into contact with ARB cover at full turn. Could this cause a bad wobble? May be my toe is messed up with bent tie rod. Can I bend this out or shuold I replace?

Ok, I will mess with it this weekend and replace when I can. What are the consequences of running it bent if I adjust toe in properly? Not saying I am going to do it forever, money is tight now.
