The track bar is under a good bit of tension so just looking at it or just grabbing and shaking it probably wouldn't tell you if the bushings were bad. Do the same thing in that video I posted and see if it moves at all.

^I would think that those could contribute to the problem.


You're gonna end up changing most of your suspension components.


Sucks, but its true...

Ball joints! Oh what fun.

Most parts stores have a loner set of ball joint removal/installation tools. Ask a couple times 'cuse they will probably try to just give you a fork. The kit should be a couple large C-clamps and different size adapters.

I am still battling my truck to get it right..its been hell since i lifted it!!
I changed my tie rod ends and had my tires balanced and it helped some but mine still has it a little..make sure everything is in good shape..go over this thread and we have discussed the things it could be. They balanced my tires with the bags of balancing stuff. How bad is it wobbling?? Mine was REALLY REALLY bad!!

Sorry dont what the balancing stuff is called..the statement didnt make me sound very intellegent lol but i know what your going thru and with the help of these guys i kinda know waht im talking about now lol.
