Answer
Jeff,

This is a common problem if you have oversize tires.  If you have rotated the tires, balanced them, or changed them, then you have done the first thing that I would suggest.  Remember, you can have an "out of round" tire, and this can be hard to find.

The next thing I would do, is to replace the shocks, and steering stabilizer.  If you don't have a stabilizer, then you should consider installing one.

It might be a good idea to take the Cherokee into a reputable front end shop, and have the do a front end alignment on it.  Sometimes worn steering components can cause this problem.
