    Front end rebuild

    Made me wonder too. This afternoon I got a chance to break out some tools and get under the thing. It looks like the "Jeep shop" that installed the springs torqued one side, took a smoke break, then did something else. The driver's side was totally loose. Good thing the sway bar kinda sorta...
