    wouldn't be surprised if you have a ball joint or tie rod end going out. don't be surprised if they tell you that when you go for an alignment. don't pay them to do it, we have write-ups here to help you. they are not that bad to do yourself

    ^wow, thats a screwed up first sentence. for everyone else that sentence goes like this " I went and got an alignment"....

    upperball joint (if you havnt replaced the control arm), you will have to buy the entire control arm, the ball joint is made into the arm and un-removable, you can get an aftermarket one with moog removable so the next time it goes out ull pay like 40 bucks compared to 160 or so.

    idler arm...meh. got mine at O'reillys for less than 30 bucks, but i had a discount.

    Yeah sorry about that sentence I was driving. I already got the control arms. I got the moog ones. I'm gonna wait till Friday to get the idler arm. But my light bar came today. Gonna put that on tonight.
