I recently replaced all the tires and had a front end alignment done. I was having trouble with the steering constantly moving the steering wheel slightly left and right. The tires and Alignment helped with the problem but I find that towing our Jeep Liberty continues to create a problem. When I am not Towing there is not a steering issue. What is the solution to this problem? Is there a sway bar that will help with this issue? Thanks, Peter

If you have too little +caster you can have loose steering. The best caster range for highway driving is from +5.5 to +6.5 degrees. Loose steering is when you have a dead "do nothing" zone between left and right.

You can upgrade your rear sway bar to a heavier one, like the Hellwig. You can also add a spring steering stabilizer, like the Roadmaster Reflex. Both will make the rig handle better.
