I bought my first jeep back in july. Its a '09 2D JK in deep water blue pearl. It came with the essentials for a first time jeeper (bumpers, winch, lightbar, 2" lift and 33s). Couldn't have asked for anything better considering I paid nearly retail value. Well I pretty much wheeled it until the stock steering components started wearing out and I started experiencing the death wobble. It got to the point when i couldn't get over 35 without shaking out. Ive done inspections and found the track bar was my biggest issue. I replaced it with the RK Bomb Proof. Fixed the main wobble issue to where it was drivable again. Next on the list was my drag link. Bought the synergy drag link and upon install I loosened the tie rod nut on the passenger side for a little extra space to slip it into the steering knuckle. Once the DL was in i tried tightening the tie rod back up and noticed the stud was spinning with the bolt. The stud fits a 7mm hex head so i hit it with some PB Blaster and let it sit for a night. Next day i tried getting the bolt to go back down the stud and the stud stripped. Now I don't know What do do. Do I cut the stud and get a new tie rod end?:doh:
