    While driving my ARB Front Bumper shakes is this normal?
    I am thinking it would shake some being it is mounted to the frame but just want some input from others, Is this normal???
    Anyone having similar issues or should I replace all bolts?

    Shakes how when you lean on it or hitting a bump?
    It will shimmy on bumps since it’s attached to the frame that’s why you have some space between the bumper and fender flare. I don’t have an arb but mine does it as well.

    Just do a once over on your hardware and you should be fine.

    Over GVWR and I keep adding more metal
    Mine does on washboard roads. I also have a weird clunk I cant diagnose (I'm certain its either the bumper or LCA bushing). I re torqued everything but still moves around, and it has migrated enough that it doesnt have a gap between bumper and fender flares now.

    I'm gonna dismount, re mount, and then drill through the bumper/frame mount and the bumper (where those "adjuster slots" are) so it cant wiggle
