Driveline / Front-End Shaking at 60+ MPH – Control Arm Recommendations?

[jeeeep]

have you checked the torque on all the bolts, drop brackets, control arms, steering box?

Stock steering stabilizer?

I would definitely try to test out a different set of tires AND wheels. Could be one of yours is bent.

That’s definitely something I hadn’t considered—there’s a chance one or more of the wheels/rims could be bent or have an issue. I’ll add that to the list of things to check, though I’d really hate to remove the stock gray wheels that came with this COD model.

Yes—and yes, the stock stabilizer was also replaced. It’s a Teraflex unit… not my favorite, honestly, and I’ll probably be replacing it again soon.

Since no one suggested changing the stock control arms, should I just keep them? Nobody recommended a brand when I asked about control arms, or mentioned whether changing the steering gearbox would be worth considering.

Since you’re so keen on getting control arms just get stock ones again. Crown makes a factory arm for very cheap and is good.

Not sure if you saw my original post—I’m running a 2-inch lift with a ¾-inch front spacer and a 2-inch lift with a 1-inch spacer in the rear. That’s why I’m asking whether this is necessary.

Factory control arms are designed to last the life of the vehicle. Typically and assuming you're not flexing out way beyond their capability with coilovers, that should be 1 million miles or more. That is a fact. In other words, the likelihood they are your problem are ZERO.

Thank you, I appreciate the advice.
