I did check the bolts to the shocks and tightened them a little more but that didn't make a difference. I replaced the track bar bolts with 9/16 this weekend but haven't driven it enough to know if it's fixed. I'm starting wonder if the springs aren't seated properly because they look off-center. The upper bump stop on the passenger side is too close to the outside of the spring, and the spring itself is rubbing the inside wheel well. When I get another chance, I'll jack it back up and see if I can move the spring a little.

Anyone have any experience with front springs being off-center?

 

I meant the shocks themselves. Both my driver side shocks are shot, which I'm pretty sure is causing a shimmy when I hit big cracks in the road. You said you had about 38k on the Jeep, right?

 

My wife surprised me with a JKS Adjustable Track Bar this weekend. She didn't tell me she ordered it, that sneaky girl. I installed it along with 9/16 bolts this weekend. So far so good. I do feel a little wheel wiggle when hitting bumps or pot holes, but no death wobble yet.

As far as I can tell my shocks are fine. I did figure out, with the help of JKS, that my passenger side front spring is not set in the bottom notch correctly. I'll need to twist it into place.

Think I need a new stabilizer strut?

 

There you have it, things have a way of working themselves out. Glad it's sorted!

 

I'm have that wiggle right now, I'm chalking it up to my shot drive side shocks. Gonna order some soon from EA.

 

Which ones are you looking at? Shocks are definitely high on my wish list.

 

Blistein 5100s. They always seem to get recommended. I'll be just buying 2 for the front for now and swap my 1 good front shock to the back. Then when the funds permit, buy 2 Blistein 5160s and swap the 5100s to the back. That's the plan anyway.

 

That's an interesting idea... I hadn't thought about doing it in pairs like that. I might actually be able to afford a couple before my Big Bear trip if I do it like that.

 

So I was suppose to get my 35s on today, but they had reorder wheels since they ordered the wrong offset. Asked for 4.5" backspacing, ended up with 5". 5" bs wheels got shipped overnight since they had some in Cali, 4.5" wheels are out of state. Have to wait till Friday.

 

Just in time for the weekend!
