WK front end advice
« on: April 21, 2014, 08:47:42 PM »

The wk has a bit of a knock over bumps, wheel wobble around 70mph and when you go over a decent size pot hole it's makes the front end jiggle about.

Bit un nerving as for a moment when you go over a pot hole its like it goes its own way for a split second.

Any thoughts

Balljoints, sway bar bushes, bushes in upper and lower arms, front diff bushes. In that order based on my experience

Let me know if Bubba takes a look at yours and gets his eye in. I might just take mine over to him to get checked out rather than trying to do it myself (too many other jobs to get done on the 'fun' Jeep).

Kev thinks the balls joints seem ok. Going to switch wheels about to see if that reduces the speed vibration just invade of a wheel issue. There is a lot going on at the front end of these WK's and a hell of a lot of bushes
