thanks for the conformation mike. i was pretty sure that was it. i can visabley see that the joints are toast on it and with no wieght on the supension i can jiggle the hell out of it. i'll get one tommorow morning and swap it on.
J-spec - i think you are on the right track with your thinking. it started doing it as soon as i put the 17's on. i think with the shorter, stiffer sidewall the steering linkage takes more of a beating and it just upset the idler arm that was on its last leg.
i put the arm on tommorow and let you guys know what happens
