Going to try the sprinkler tomorrow when its in the 40's. I noticed mud in the cylinder (i don't know whats its called) above the jounce bumper . How can i get that out? I got as much as i could with my fingers but there's more in there.

 

Here's what I'm talking about. Mud is inside that hole.

That hole is the bump stop mount and mud there would not cause a vibration.... However, I can see from the picture that you are no where near clean enough to rule out mud as a source of your vibrations and steering wheel shimmy.

The inability to properly clean is what keeps me off the trail in the winter... I know it will be tough but it really needs to be done. Dress warm, put on a rain suit and go for it!

 

Power sprayed whole thing and got it up to 65mph with no wobble. I think that's fixed.

Still very hard to turn wheel when stopped or making slow turn. Power steering issue?

I took off those sh*ty plastic hub caps. No need to keep those on, right?

 

Least it's not South Alabama mud, that sh*t is sticky.

 

Just asking but, you took it out of 4 wheel drive, right?

 

Easy to lose a wheel weight turning the tires in mud or against a rock. Shouldn't have any issues turning the steering wheel...

Sent from some string and a few tin cans.

 

Yup..

 

This same thing happened to me about a month ago. When I was in the mud all 4 wheels were spinning and I wasn't going anywhere. When you get wheel balanced, the tire shop puts weights o the wheel to make it more stable at high speeds. When my wheels were spinning it ripped off all of the weights and to fix the issue I had to go in and get the wheels rebalanced. Hope this helps.
