No you are implying that.

You show Los Angeles as your location and you don't live in country?
You want your jeep to ride like a car. Do everyone including yourself a favor and just go buy a car.

I hate cars, I like a nice area in back where I can throw my tools and surfboard into. If I could just get it to ride like a newer Jeep I would be happy.

your 07 has coils. What is this a pic of??? Btw, if you hate the so.id axles so much, buy a honda, or Subaru. Honestly, if you are running uber, wouldn't you want something roomier and easier on gas? And your tire issue, is an alignment issue and probably worn out parts. 7+ year old vehicle! will need care. I frequent LA, the roads aren't the smoothest. As for tire pressure, I run mine at 27. The stockers I ran at 32. Best wishes!

Not looking to buy a new car. It would cost me $3,000 in taxes just to make that move. I'm a Jeep guy and I only drive manual. The Uber job thingy is just temp.

And you are right!!! The roads in LA are pure dook and borderline 3rd world.

Why is this thread still going? Get out and do the alignment and I'm willing to bet it will fix your problems.

I think this guy is bored from being out of work for 14 months... Just leading all of us on to get his jollies.

Facts:

-your jeep will NEVER ride like a Buick.

-a Toyota Prius is NOT faster than a Jeep Wrangler (at least the 3.6l, 3.8l it'd be a race)

http://www.zeroto60times.com/Jeep-0-60-mph-Times.html

-you can correct the issue with your Jeep by fixing your alignment. (Toe especially)

-people in the 'country' generally have MORE to do than people elsewhere.

-you do not have anything else to do besides yap on here. Go fix your jeep.
