Okay, I've posted before, but now I've had the front two tires rebalancedand the bearings tightened up.New rear drive shaft U jointsNo play in steeringBall joints are fineNew steering stabilizerNew 2.5 skyjacker suspension with shocks/bushings (has 2 inch body lift new)New shackles (stock) and bushingsNew 33x13.5 superswamper TSLs on New 10x15 wheels (front 2 just rebalanced)Tightened up front bearings.Motor/tranny mounts are shot.Swaybar bushings are shotWhy the hell am I still getting this shimmy/shake between 40-50 mph??? Thething wanders like a mother too but I'm figuring it's the bias plytires...not to mention the width. Any suggestions? Are my axles bent?Thanks!Allen83 CJ7

One thing that is overlooked with Jeep ball joints is that they only work in conjunction with the steering, i.e., left to right, and not with the suspension as in an IFS configuration. That's why they last so long.
