So, I have my front end out for gussets and a truss. Taking the time to do my rock lights while I'm at it. I notice my upper control arms just hanging with no noticeable tension. I wiggle them seeing that there is tons of slop coming from the through bolt part of the joint. So I remove them to find that the up and down movement of the axle has caused the bolt to actually wear it's threading into the through bolt hole. These we installed right, tight with no play and even retorqued after a few hundred miles. After only 2k miles on the Jeep these have very noticeable wear. I think the quality steel used for these joints is sub par.
It's somewhat hard to see in the picture. But the threading of the bolt has made threads so to speak inside the through bolt hole.
I'm uncertain of what I should do at this moment. Guess it's back up to the tractor supply to find some bolts with a shoulder to give me tighter tolerances.
