I have almost 95000 km on the kit. I have torqued/ shook/ visually inspected joints without taking anything apart. So far the only loose thing I have come across is the rear passenger wheel .

Could this be an axel bearing issue?

I doubt it, I would pull the arms to inspect. Its free and its the first place I would look if it were mine

I pulled my arms to see if they are causing this issue.

The front lower adjustable control arm joint pulled completely free, the jam nut seemed tight, but must have had enough play to wear the threads down over time.

Any reason I can't or shouldn't weld them together for now, until I can buy a replacement arm?

Thanks fellas
