Every once in awhile when I was wheeling somewhere, id hear a knocking noise underneath my Jeep on the driver side underneath my seat. I was also getting the old dreaded death wobble that seemed to come and go---which was very odd. I checked and checked all the attachment points on my control arms, my ball joints, tie rods, etc etc. and I would lube everything while I was under there. I never found anything loose. A few days ago while I was checking everything after a wheeling trip to SMORR, I finally found the problem

Not much left of the passenger side upper control arm bushing!-----The driver side was actually worse!
After a quick call to Rough Country and $28 plus shipping I got 2 rebuild kits---ordered on Tues and received them on Thus. Took about 20-30 mins per side to remove and rebuild the ends
I could've replaced the ends with "real Johnny Joints" but after 5 years and many, many wheeling trips, I'll just stick with what I got. (for now)
I'm going to go ahead and rebuild the rest of them in the next few weeks---only 6 more to go.
