Does anyone know a fix for wobbly mirrors?

might be a dumb question but do they swing out ? i see a big nut on the bottom of the arm and loosened it hoping to move them out further, but they wouldn't move. wondering if they might be splined or keyed or i just need to loosen it more . only adjustments i've found are the screws on the mirror itself, nothing on the bracket
 
The best mod you can do is remove them and use the later model TJ mirrors. They can still be found brand new from Mopar.

You will no longer have any issues.
I found some aftermarket ones for my half doors pretty cheap also..look stock. Surprised me

On my 98 there are three mirror positions. At the furthest out/forward I am not sure you would be able to see passengers side mirror. The “in” position is essentially to the window. They do require some effort to move.
 
The aftermarket ones I have bought looked pretty good at a glance but after installing them, the glass appears wavy and it's kind of annoying. That's true two for two different aftermarket sets.

I saved my factory ones which work fine but the powder coat is flaking off badly. I plan to have them recoated. Not a fan of the way the newer style looks.
 
I just replaced mine with the Quadratecs the driverside mirror vibrates and the passenger side slowly drops down after a few trips to work...
 
Later model TJ mirrors are the way to go. I had the same issue...no amount of adjusting or tightening would keep them in place. Luckily, the previous owner gave me a set of full doors with the purchase that were from a later model so I was able to swap out. I'd keep an eye out for a part out jeep - you may be able to find a set for a reasonable price
