A speed dependent (repeatable nearly every time when a given speed is reached) wobble or shimmy is nearly always tire/wheel related (out of balance, bent, failure to move stock lug retainer clips, cupped or feathered tire wear, etc.).

Did you remove these? They absolutely must be removed to run non-stock wheels or any wheel spacer.




A random wobble/shimmy that requires a trigger to start the oscillation is rarely tire/wheel related. It is due to loose or worn parts.

There are only so many things that can be loose or warn. A systematic inspection that checks every single component in one sitting will expose the source(s) of the problem.

This isn't rocket science.

If you read my thread and watch my videos, I explain how the system works and how to diagnose the sources.

If someone has not found the source(s) of the problem, they haven't systematically inspected each and every component.

The torque spec for your wheel lug nuts is 95-100 ft lbs. If you torqued them to 120 ft lbs, you may have over stretched them.

The torque spec for your front trackbar and lower control arms is 125 ft lbs.

You don't have any suspension component or wheel lug with a 120 ft lbs torque spec.

You have one tie rod that connects the 2 knuckles. Are you referring to the swaybar links?

"Are you referring to the swaybar links?" Yes
The torque of 120 was from the guy that install the rims. Also on the MB72 rims there is a couter bore to allow for those star washers.
I am going to replace the pittman arm bolts today at lunch.

The pitman arm doesn't have any bolts.

120 ft lbs on the lug nuts is too much for a JK.

Do you happen to have a picture that shows the wheels have a factory counter bore on your aftermarket wheels? This would be a first.

Sorry ment Track bar, no coffee equals retard.

I will get you a pic of the counter bore for the star washers.

PatrickESJK

Here is the closest I could find with out taking the rim off.



You see the the counterbore on this rim is very close to the the MB 72's

JK-1

the counter bore doest look big enough i would remove them just to eliminate it you can always put them back on

PatrickESJK

Will do! Thanks, going to put on the TB bolts now. Fingers crossed!

PatrickESJK

Bolts are on!! Time for a test drive.

Did deffenatly see some thread wear on the bushings!!!!!

If you have yet to take it back to whoever put the tires on the rims and balanced them... you should. If you tell them that one of your wheels is giving a bad vibration they should be eager to at least check it out for balance. all DW starts somewhere.
