Everything diesel said can and will cause death wobble, steering stab. a lot of times are used to mask under lying issues. I would at minimum tighten everything, and check to see if you may have blown a shock.

Tighening the steering gearbox can make things worse, the steeringwheel may not center on its own and you will have to constantly saw at the wheel trying to correct its course. Steering gear boxes rarely need to be adjusted, and adjusting them rarely fixes any steering issues.

no updates.. still lost. this sucks, i can't drive it untill it's fixed. the PO took it to a shop when it did it with him and they told him it was the sway bar? i don't know how a chunk of steel can go bad but they replaced it and it stoped. when i got it i discoed the sway bar for better flex and that's how i found out about it. but when i re connected it it stoped.. now it's doing it with the swaybar connected. and it doesnt help that on the passengerside the swaybar nut wont tighten. it will get tight and then reloosen itself if you turn it anymore. do you think this could have anything to do wwith it? should i replace the link and see if that does it?

im going out to look yet again tomarrow. someone sujested maby a hub assembly, it doesnt help the one time we took it out in awhile we pulled the jetski. so that could have made it a tad worse.
