: Always test that the Jeep shifts smoothly into and out of 4-High and 4-Low . If equipped, test the lockers and sway bar disconnect.
: Drive over bumps at highway speeds to check for violent steering wheel shaking, a common issue in poorly maintained or improperly lifted Wranglers.
: If the Jeep is lifted, verify the quality of the parts.
: Check for "ticking" sounds, which can indicate bad rocker roller bearings.
: Listen for unusual noises during the test drive.
