Welcome to the Forum 1993_MAZDA_MIATA,

Have your tires "Force Balanced" to start. Not every tire shop is capable to do this, nor does every tire shop even know what force balancing is.
If the DW continues, have the suspension examined by a competent alignment shop.

Other posters may have additional suggestions.

Good Luck, L.M.

If the balancing doesn't work, check your alignment. Make sure that your Jeep's suspension is in good shape (bushings, wheel bearings, etc..) and if it's lifted, find out what has been done to it (forum can help with that)

Awesome Miata!

Get a helper, do a dry steer test. (There are videos on youtube that explain what to look for)
