Re: Wobble in front passenger wheel well during acceleration
PROBLEM FIXED. OK I got around to looking at it and jacked it up, there was no excessive play when I jiggled the wheel. Started looking at the sway bar bushings, thinking the U shaped bushings sat in between the donut bushings. WRONG. The U shaped bushings are in the middle of the sway bar and bolt it up to the frame on brackets. Those looked fine. Then I realized the spacer and bar end is free floating and should make no contact with anything. The Round bushings squishing together is what prevents free play and jiggling. The bolt on the end of the sway bar, on the bad wheel had backed off all the way and was causing the looseness So I tightened it until the thread stuck out of the back of the bolt the half an inch or so to match the non wobbly wheel.
