Please give me your recommendations for these issues. I have full on death wobble.
I have a 2012 JK with all Synergy Front components except control arms (Rubicon Express) and Coils (Metal Cloak). I have death wobble, this is what I have found after doing the famous death wobble checklist 100%.
Track bar (Synergy, with relocation bracket and brace and sector shaft brace), Heim joint (axle end) has about .005-.010” movement, I can feel and hear when I grab the bar and pull on it. No visible movement and bolts do not move when turning steering wheel. (11,000 miles)
Passenger lower ball joint (all Synergy ball joints), when lifting tire with shovel has about .050” up/down play, all other ball joints good. (8000 miles)
Tie Rod (Synergy) test with channel locks for up/down movement, passenger about
.050”, drivers about .020”. No up/down movement when turning steering wheel. (8000 miles)
Drag Link (Synergy flip) test with channel locks for up/down movement, Knuckle end about .025”, Pitman end nothing. No up/down movement when turning steering wheel. (11,000 miles)
LCA drivers side (Rubicon Express, fixed), lots of side to side slop on frame mount (will order replacement bushing), drivers side good but will replace bushing also. (19,000 miles)
*Please advise what you recommend for each item above.
