Sounds a lot like you have a bad ball joint on the driver side. The vibration, and tire wear really give it away. We carry the Alloy USA Heavy Duty Ball Joint. It comes with all 4 ball joints for the front axle. They are heavy duty and made to handle the weight of larger wheels and tires. They are also serviceable, so just shoot some grease in them and they'll last a long time.

Shoot me a PM and I can hook you up with our discount code for JK-Forum Members, and answer any other questions you have!

No matter what, way too many miles for 08 stick ball joints. They are garbage.your lucky you haven't lost a wheel yet.

 

=•O. Definitely replacing them then.! Appreciate all the help everyone! Which now leads me to my next question. Anyone using alloy ball joints? Heard mixed reviews

 

I'm running them in my JK, and I have no problems with them. I have had them in for about 2K miles now and they seem to be holding up really well. Install was fairly easy, and to me, the grease feature is really nice.

Let me know if you have any questions. I'll also shoot you over our discount code in a PM so you can use it.

I would hope they would hold up well for 2K

I've heard good things about Synergy ones as well.. I have a slight bit of play in mine, probably around the +-1mm will change them out this Summer. It's not a terribly hard install but does take a little bit of time to do.
