For the last couple days or so, my front end developed this rough shake right at 30 - 60mph. Its coming from the passenger side. I can hear alot of road noise coming from that tire, as well as trying to hold the steering wheel steady. Its giving that tire a beating also. In return the drivers side tires is showing little wear as well.. Every autoparts store in this area shows them as 'not available'.

Will this kit replace the centerlink? Might as well go for an upgrade while im under there.

Yea it will. I know some people running the A.S.S. (Andys Samurai Steering) an they love it. It looks just like what roadless gear is selling.

This sounds alot like a Sympathetic bump shimmy. Sudden attack of the shaking steering wheel like your steering box is in a boxing match. This can be caused by a bad tire, or excessive wear in the steering.
Usually I try rotating the tires and checking the front end for excessive play. I most often find the lower king pin bearings worn out, rusted, and holding water.
The steering above is a nice mod, but I am concerned that it may not fully correct your problem.

its always a had a very small unnoticable shake to it. Just the last few days it got really bad... I can go out there and grab the centerlink, and move it up and down about a half inch to an inch..

woot! found a junkyard with 11 samurais, tintops and softtops. I got the centerlink off one with 50k miles that had been rearended for 30.00. Thats my temp fix until I get some cash up to order the high steer kit..(right now im working on getting some lifted springs thru eaton springs)...
Next time I go out there, im gonna make a thread a couple days before to see if anybody wants anything, and see if i can find it for them...
