After setting preload i took it apart after 25 mile test drive to make sure ball joint was still tight.
it was still tight so i put it back together then I test drove last night after work and it was alot smoother. No shake even up to 70mph.
I had preloaded and adjusted my ball joints, track bar got tightened after adding new bolts on frame and axle side.
This weekend I'll be pulling the arms off 1 by 1 to check for bushing play.
It will take some time because the bolts siezed in the joint, i just received new bolts in case i have to cut them out

Following, just installed teraflex ball joints a week ago on mine. Hopefully they don’t go bad that fast
