Roadforce balancing did not catch the problem either.

My shimmy ended up being the lateral runout on my like new blackrock rims. They were over two times the maximum allowed.

Cornbread l done the same thing what size tires do you have?

My shimmy also ended up being my blackrock steel rims. 3 of the rims are bad so l have to keep the two good ones on the front so it doesnt shimmy. I think .040 is max allowed for latteral run out mine is way over that on three of the wheels. I will be getting a set of aluminums soon. The rims im...

It was the same viscosity. But it was a slow leak just enough to be annoying on the floor of the garage.

When l put synthetic oil in my jeep it started leaking. I went back to regular oil like some others and within a month it quit leaking. Glad i didnt change the seal its not leaked all summer. Thanks for whoever reccomended this in the old posts. Thanks

If the bolt is to small use a bigger bolt so theres hardly any play at all. My bushing had about 1/8 in play and that was enough to make it shimmy when l hit a bump. I pressed out the rather new bushing and used a poly bushing and it fixed it.

I checked all my rims and the back ones werent as bad as the front. Blackrock discontinued the fake bead locks like l have so l might just get two crager soft eights to put on the front just to try it. After l wear out these new tires im going to 15in rims.

I will do that l really think the rims have been my main problem. I will report back thanks

I could easily stick a wood ruler in the gap difference it creates when l spin the rim. The first set of tires were road force balanced on new tires and they didnt mention a rim problem. Tires still shimmied.

Ive had two different installers tell me the rims were warped but l didnt think they were since they were practically new. I watched a youtube on how to tell if rims were warped lol. I just dont know whats considered acceptable but l dont see how they couldnt wobble with that much difference. Im...

Finally got my shimmy fixed by balancing tires. So l rotaded them myself without balancing them again and the shimmy has returned. So at least now l know for sure its in the tires or rims. I took the spare to get it balanced and same place thet balanced other 4 tires said rim was warped. So...

Mine done the same thing with the zj upgrade. I just added grade 8 washers but it did torque down. So far so good. If yours isnt torquing down your studs are probably spinning. You definately want them torqued.

Check the 4 bolts on your throttle body. Dont overtighten.

Ted did you flip the 9000xl shocks and did they work?

You can also get just the ball and spring cheaper but its a moog brand.

This is the hardest job l have done on my jeep so far getting the bushings out because l didnt have the right tools. Make life easier and get an air chisel. Makes it a easy job. Harbor freight has them for like $11. Ball joint press also helps and they have a ball joint kit that has a lot of...

Another update! The shimmy came back even after adjusting the pinion angle but it did seem to get better. You all were right it ended up being tire balance after all i done but l have the jeep in good mechanical shape. Sometimes you have to eat crow but hopefully it will help others. I thought...
