Mirror Question

[jswatson0917]

Is there anyway to keep my mirror from jiggling like an over weight belly dance (How’s that for a visual?) while I'm riding around town in my Jeep? Thanks for any help.

i just tightened the out of the bolt that runs through the mount. although mine isn't factory some PO ran a bolt through the mount and used a really big nut as a spacer. i'll eventually buy some new mirrors

Are you missing the bushings? Check them out scroll down from the mirrors a little. You'll see them then. They'll help if the arm is moving , but not the head.

I always thought it was my whole jeep jiggling.

I know you will find this difficult to believe but, by deffinition, there is no such thing as an over weight belly dancer.
You are refering to the side mirror and not the one on the windshield??

The way you described yours I thought that would help. Glad it'll work. As for the o.p. I dunno.

i just figured you had to buy new mirrors to get those sort of little parts, never would have thought you could buy em separate

The mirror on the windshield is steady. Its the mirrors on the outside that I am having issues with. I have checked all of the bolts and they are tight and the bushings are there also.

Its in the mirror head itself then. Not much you can do other than tack weld it where you want it or replace them.

For the mirror itself there are usually 3 or 4 screws that surround the pivot ball, I tighten them down a little at a time and I'm good. I was running 33" Super Swamper TSL's.

I have those good and tight too. I am guessing it is one of those nuances I am going to have to put up with.
