Hey guys!


SO I have had my OME/Ironman lift on since March. All is well until about a month ago. I have been taking it to the beach and it has handled well. But Now When I drive the front end feels loose and wobbly. I went and got new sway bar links, and an alignment, and rotated tires and balanced. Drove it off and it felt great!

I went to the beach after and when I was done same feeling came back, Wobbly, taking bumps harshly and bouncing all over my truck.

I took it back to the shop and he said everything looked fine and he could not find a problem, tires were fine, and was still alighn. What do I do? I do not want to drive like this it is almost unbearable. I make a turn and i feel like im falling out of my car from the bumps and stuff. PLEASE HELP!!

Make sure the spring isolators are on the springs. Make sure all bolts are torqued to spec including the sway bar. With the jeep on All 4 tires with out it being jacked up, torque the sway bar and end links down. The bushings should be dead center in the sway bar. A shock being loose can cause the noise as well. Remove the strut assembly and check the torque on the shock it's self.

And if the shop said everything was fine, Find a new shop because rattling is a very obvious issue.

There is no rattling. It just feels wobbly. Its only front end. Rear is perfect

Check your lca and uca ball joints.

To confirm, there is 100% no noise from the front end?
