haven't you heard anything about "wheel balance & alignment" in your life before? it's the most basic repair.

"sullivan tires" is the best place to do that based on my experience.

Do a suspension and steering full check first. Durangos like Libertys are known for ball joints issues. And don't worry they are not that expensive, you can get them by the set in NAPA for a good price. Pitman arm usually get a lot of play too, and the first quick fix lube,lube and lube. Then alignment . . . .
