There are several possibilities here that need to be looked at, if you have two good jack stands you can locate the problem, or you will need to take it to a shop that has a frame lift. With the front end in the air and drooping (supported by the frame rails), grab one tire and try to turn in left to right several times. if there is play try to locate where its coming from i.e. loose steering box, worn gears in the steering box, a bad ball joint. if you don't find it there then try moving the axle itself side to side with your feet on the tire. I.e. looking for worn track bar bushings. With a good bar now try twisting the axle front to back looking for any play, (bad cam bolt or loose). Now check your lower and upper control arms for twist-able play, looking for a worn bushing.

Hopefully this helps you in locating the problem, if you can find it nor do you have the said good jack stands to get your jeeps front end air born, and good mechanics shop worth there salt would be willing to do this for free with high hopes that you would get them to do the repairs.

	Track bar A track bar is a component of a car suspension system that provides lateral location of the axle. While the purpose of the rear suspension of an automobile is to allow the wheels to move vertically with respect to the body, it is undesirable to allow them to move forward and backwards, or from side to side. It is this latter movement that the track bar is designed to prevent. It is a simple device, consisting of a rigid bar running sideways in the same plane as the rear axle, connecting one end of the axle to the car body or chassis on the opposite side of the vehicle. The bar is attached on either end with pivots that permit it to swivel upwards and downwards only, so that the axle is, in turn, allowed to move in the vertical plane only.
