Front end wobbles/shakes/shimmy and security questions

I know there are a ton of these lurking on the forum but mine is a bit different I think.

First,

At just about any speed, when I hit a decent size bump in the road i get some front end wobble (like head shake on a motorcycle) It's normally barely noticeable but sometimes it's pretty bad. It always goes away within a second or two after the bump. It's like the jeep says dang that hurt... is that normal or is something loose or broken? I am pretty sure the RF tire is a little toed out and the Jeep could use an alignment. I just had the tires rot/balanced so I know that's not the issue. It only has 22k on it and it's only been off the pavement a couple times.


Second,

I received a letter today from State Farm (just bought the Jeep) that stated that I might be able to save some money because according to my VIN, the Jeep may have a security system on it. This includes either a cutoff for starter, ignition, or fuel OR an alarm. Since I know it doesn't have an alarm (YET), does the key or ignition have something built into it?? In case it doesn't up on my jeepspace, it's an 06 rubicon, factory soft top, no cruise, 6 speed, 6 disc changer.


Thanks,

-Brandon

Jeep security: Leave doors unlocked so they don't cut the top and nothing of value inside.

The technical advice you get from me here is worth exactly what you paid me for it. Warranty issues will be reimbursed at double what you paid me for the advice.

my guess the security system they are talking about is the sentry key theft deterrent system. it has a RFID chip in the key that is sensed buy the jeep to allow it to start.

according to what i've read i don't have the sentry key because it's black and i don't have the little key light that lights up when i start the jeep. This thread may be closed.

Thanks
