My jeep just started to wobble for the past 3 months... I was out wheeling and turned around hit a stump and now it seems to be worse... i took a look at everything underneath it seems to be ok except my lower skyjacker control arms... If i grab them i can move them around about a 1/16"... They seem loose, i checked the bolts and they don't get any tighter... Do you think the wobble is from my control arms????? I just wanted to get everyone's idea on this so if i buy new lower control arms it fixes the problem vs wasting money... thanks for the help...

 

The stock ball joints are pure junk. I'd put my money there.

 

Well i called Northridge and they said since i can move my control arms around a little bit that it is most likely the problem... Hopefully this is the fix... We will see what happens tomorrow when i put them on i am so sick of this wobble, but i got to ride my motorcycle everyday so i can't complain to much...

 

planman good info on DW.

 

I always ask this question, Has anybody actually died from DW, I guess we wouldn't know

 

Have you ever experienced it? If you had, you wouldn't be so flippant.

 

Absolutely! You can't have any play there. I would certainly start there.

 

i got my new Currie front lower control arms from northridge... it fixed the problem and i got rid of that crappy skyjacker ones... i still have a slight wobble at 55-65mph and i don't know why... i also noticed the holes for the bolts on the control arms were wallowed out a little bit??? how do i fix this now...

 

You checked your CA's bushings... now check your balljoints In fact, that's what I'm going to do tomorrow
