Mine would start even at slow speed but was noticeable once i hit potholes or bumpy roads. I had shimmying in the wheel which was the reason i rebalanced. I thought the rough riding was due to the fact my wheels aren't hub centric. The balance took away the shimmy and the re-airing down stopped the pedals moving, but I am taking it on longer ride today to get a real idea if it was all of the above or more.

I thought of this as well. I only have 6000 miles on it, so I would hope this isn't the case. But I will be keeping an eye on it

Tell me about it. It felt insane on my body as I was getting tossed around. I let out every curse I knew when saw what the pressure was. When I finally got it back to 32 I was all smiles again. His reasoning the first time was, "these tires are meant for a 3/4 ton truck and if they are aired down they cup and wear on the outsides." I told him the Jeep is half the weight blah blah blah and he got quiet. This second time was just sneaky.

Well my steering is tight except my draglink joints have slight play (within tolerance) according to the dealer. Just wish there was some way to snug up that brake pedal.
