Hi guys, jk newbie here. I recently installed a 2.5 RK max travel kit, and I took it on the interstate and I found it had a wobble. I got an alignment a few days prior, and after investigating what could be the source of my newly acquired wobble I found the heim joints looking like this.
The first is the passenger side and the second is driver side.
My question is are those okay or should I fix them(center them) These are the RK lcas.
Thanks a ton

They should be locked in place with the jam nut torqued applying proper preload and the joint should be centered as others mentioned. Adding red loctite to the jam nut might help out as well, but make sure they are extremely tight....
More than likely that is not the source of DW though...

it looks like when you measured the control arms for length you didnt ensure it laid flat before install. I may be wrong, idk. In about 30 days I will be putting in my control arms myself.

Align the joints perpendicular to the ground, man up on it using a bfw (big f'in wrench) and loctite.... I laid mine on the ground with a piece of rebar through the joint and torqued it with a huge adjustable wrench (AKA knuckle buster). Rock Krawler will give you another joint if you break this (which isn't possible by hand).
Good luck.
