Easy now......What s_cks on later Jeeps, which your truck shares is the cross over steering set up, stock or lifted one of the best mods is to due away with it. I've seen the death wobble video's concerning your truck. Never had an issue with rod end drag link conversions, I've built a number of them after axle swaps.

New bushings are 'supposed' to be here today, I'll go ahead and install while scrounging the missing part I need to create the new one.......if this thing stays together I 'do' want to lift it so I'd like to be able to adjust it..

That sucks, odd for a bushing to fail that fast. I had a few that were in much better shape and they were original.

This. Some of the lower end AllMakes are absolute garbage. Get some polyurethane bushings.

I'll take the advice and search out the poly's next time around.

Sooo, the 4 rod ends replaced, 2 bushings replaced, driveway alignment with 1/16" toe out.......We're GOOD.....all symptoms of wobble.....gone!

Thank you to every one who chimed in, I'm off to the mall!!
