Woot woot!!! An easy fix is a good one!!! I check bolts after wheeling, and at oil changes.. Usually if one is loose u will see rust spots too.. Helps if u just peek underneath every now n then. Usually easy to spot!!

Happy motoring!

Same here with my old 2003 TJ. Since caster is not adjustable on a Jeep with factory control arms, you've got to use aftermarket control arms that do allow adjustment. Once I installed adjustable ones and set back to factory settings - DW went away and never returned for the last 4 years that I owned that Jeep (and that was another 80,000 miles).
