Is this normal?
Hello everyone. I am a new jeep JK owner. So forgive my noobness. I am experiencing a shimmy and clunkiness in my steering and have researched all threads. I can find nothing wrong, however I am not sure if this is normal. Below should be a video (hope it works). I really appreciate all and any help.

mine wiggles like that as well but not as severely...I would check that the stabilizer is tight and consider upgrading to a new unit...even though mine moves as well it has no clunkiness or anything else it drives and steers great so check all of your torque settings and go from there! Good luck!

Thank you everyone. I cannot find anything wrong with bushings or binding. So I am get a new steering stabilizer, probably gonna go with Skyjacker Single Steering Stabilizer 7003.

tried to send you a message back to your question about the pictures but it says you are not allowing private messages...go to the settings spot at the top of the page and it will allow you to do this as long as the pics are downloaded onto your computer and allow you to recieve messages...I need to download my phone and camera again my pic is from over 2 years ago...lol..it looks nothing like my profile pic now!!! And WELCOME to the JEEP family and yes it will take over your life and you WILL be better for it!!!
