[QUOTE="sanman09JK, post: 429326, member: 19618"] Hey folks,I need some help, 2009 JK 2dr, after putting some new tires on the jeep 285/70/17 Nittos, I notice it drove a little more erratic, as she was parked in the driveway i look at her from the front end I noticed that my tires looked like they were pointing outward. I was like ahhh just in my head must be the driveway making it look like that.. well I was doing something else to it and crawled under the front and used the tie rod to pull myself under the jeep and it moved!! so under further inspection, I can move the tie rod up and down with my hand about 2-3 inches... and also the drag bar does the same thing!! I believe it the drag bar im not too good with this stuff, If I remember the little shock is connected to it? now my jeep only has 56K miles on it, its not a off road jeep just basic weekend cruising . wanted to know if anybody else has had this problem, is it the norm on jeeps? i don't think it is. my next question is.. can I replace just the ends? IDK what their called kinda seem like (ball joints... anywho any help would be appreciated, I do my oil changes,brakes etc, but this job is over my paygrade and dont have the proper tools for the job anyway. thanks [/QUOTE]
