Bushing Check -DW Experts Wanted (Pics included)
I had the Jeep aligned and tires rotated/balanced, that helped my DW TREMENDOUSLY, almost non-existent but going downhill from a camping trip I felt a small shake, nothing that my fiance noticed but I could tell something wasn't correct. Checked my trackbar bolts and they seem okay, nice and snug. Took some pictures of my bushings and they all seem good except for the last two pics. Would you guys agree that they all seem okay except the last two? Also could those last two pics be the source of my intermittent wobble?
Thanks,
Jake

Sway bar bushings will not cause DW. You can't tell if a tie rod end is bad just by looking at it in most cases, you have to tug and feel it.

Just checked the lower control arm bushings and ball joints, a little cracky but they don't look too bad to me. Will check the uppers in the morning when there's actually some light and try to snap a decent pic. I'll put it on some jack stands as well and see if I can get some up and down play with tires.
