Loose shock

[Yellow RUBI]

Hey,
Can anyone tell me if a loose front shock would cause a vibration, ? like a balance weight fell off.

have you checked your wheel balance? A loose shock shouldnt cause a vibration. Could be an outboard u-joint, wallowed out track bar mount, worn tires, seperating plys in a tire... any number of things. A loose shock is not great for the ride but it would cause more of a bounce than a wobble.. good luck with the search. Please dont be that guy that beefs up the steering stabilizer to remove a vibe. That only masks an underlying problem.

On a "little" further investigation i noticed that the steering stabilizer is leaking and it looks like one of the lower control arms might be loose on the rear..
aside from that, the tires only have about 10k on them. I may have knocked a weight off the last time i was out but it doesn't look like it. That was the first thing I checked....
