    I will just replace the sway bar bushings and swat bar links. Maybe that will help. If not, I'm taking it back to the shop. I'll look for the Idle Air Control Valve write up. Thanks for the help.

    also if the idle problem is more of it bouncing from 200-1000 rhythmically it could be the throttle Position sensor (TPS) too. Mine was doing this, and I changed the TPS for 15 bucks and about 20 minutes. All good

    Well, I'm an idiot. I recently added two 3/4" d-rings and mounts to the front of my jeep. Just so happens I was having the front ball joints replaced at the same time. All the noise has been coming from my d-rings.

    Lol that's awesome.

    I used some rubber washers on my d-ring bolts to keep them quiet as they slide back and forth.

    Thats classic, We all have done things like it tho, glad you were able to figure it out.

    I will say this, I was having a grinding sound coming from underneath near the CATS & the shop I had it at said that they feel it & hear it but have no idea what it was for the longest. I had it in a different shop & asked them to look in to it & came to find out that it was my belly skid tapping against the CATs & it was a head smacker lol

    LMAO well, admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery bro! J\K We all have done stuff like this in the past.

    Glad we can all find humor in our mistakes. I was just relieved I didn't have to spend anymore money in the front end. I'll be adding some picks of my tow points on here very soon. I saw pics of WK in Europe with cut outs in the bumper and I stole the idea. I think it looks very good and sleek. Too bad it's noisy as hell!
