I've got a 98 TJ with a Teraflex lift with about 30K miles on it. Lately I've been noticing that the handling is getting down right spooky. It feels like there is a lot of slop in the suspension and any maneuver, turning, braking, accelerating will make the Jeep do unpredictable lane changes. Kind of like when a Detroit Locker suddenly unloads, the only problem is I don't have a Detroit.
I had my son rock the Jeep while I was underneath it looking for anything that was loose or broken. The only thing I found were the control arm bushings allowed a little bit of movement. Also I had one arm out to replace the O ring and there was about a sixteenth of an inch of slack in the threads.
Will worn bushings cause this kind of problem? If I replace the bushings will the slop in the control arm threads be a problem?
