"Loose" front end??
 
My front axle feels like it is loose... what I mean is that when I put it in reverse....go slow and hit brakes, it feels like the axle slips a little..like physically moves forward.. also, on bumpy roads it kind of clunks around a little. I have newer Rubicon LCAs... could this be my stock UCAs?? What else could it possibly be? Thanks guys!

So what your saying is the Axle Housing is slopping around ????? Not the Axels...... If the housing is loose get a floor jack and lift the truck up and get a bar to inspect it, Take the bar and see if they move check the bushings see if they are cracked, worn or out right pouched. Also while your there check the rest of the steering..... Good Luck :)
