always appreciate your input man. i did not see any bent or broken brackets. but i would definitely say that i am looking with an untrained eye. i am taking it to a more 4x4 friendly shop friday and maybe he will tell me more.

Just have the iPhone app for the wknd so can't see it, at least i don't think I can.

I did take my jeep to another shop Friday and have another printout I will post later. He had some problems with balancing the tires but finally got it better and shimmy is reduced. Thrust angle was not near as bad according to him. He did tell me to keep and eye on the driveshaft and he said my camber was slightly off and I might need offset ball joints in the future

Default 2nd alignment check

this guy said he was more worried about my camber than anything and that the shimmy at 65-75 was definitely a tire issue.



kinda hard to read sorry
