I was under my jeep today more closly inspecting the track bar and drag link bushings and noticed just the drivers side sway bar bushing was ripped up and hanging out of its socket :O the other side is fine.

Would that be the cause of my occasional wobble?

And I've asked this before but didnt get an answer. My bushings and ball joints all look fine, aside from that sway bar one, but I can grab the drag link bar and twist it back and fourth pretty easy and same with the tie rod. Is that normal?

The steering stabilizer also rocks back and fourth a bit in its bracket, is it supposed to have some bushings there or is that normal?

My track bar is very tight and looks good. Control arm and tie rods and other bushings all look good as far as I can tell.

If I get any help thanks

opinions please?

I don't know, but I would doubt it, a lot of people pull the sway bar out, so it can't be that bad for DW maybe a tippy feeling (body roll) but that would be it.

But that is just a guess

No, it would not.

Ok so its not the sway bar then hurting anything, thanks, what about this?

No the swaybar only effects body roll not axle play

and yes thats normal your looking for play. the tie rod ends are supposed to do that. Track bar would be the first place I would look.

the track bar is totally stiff and bushings look good. I think I probably just need alignment and tires balanced. But would that still cause only occasional woble or would it be all the time?
