        Joey, the last Jeep I worked on that had this problem.. in fact, ALL the Jeeps I’ve worked on had this problem.. bushings.

        Check the bushings on the control arms as well as the sway-bar. Seriously, Chrysler (didn’t Chrysler buy Jeep a while back?) had the WORST bushings imaginable for a number of years.

        Also examine the tie-rod ends and all the other usual suspects (ball-joints, etc) just in case it’s another problem instead of the one I think it is.

        Bet that’ll fix ya up.

              Also, if you have a steering damper, looks like a shock going sideways on the front suspension, you might want to change it out if it’s old.

              Keep us posted on what you find.
