1000 km since suspension installation ... you need to retension all the suspension bolts. I failed to retension mine and ended up with scary and expensive death wobbles

I'd be checking for missing wheel weights before anything else as well as what Grahame mentioned, checking suspension bolts. Speaking of which, I should probably do the same to mine this weekend.

Yeah good point, has seen a bit of mud as well, bloody swamp out there. Will check the inside of the rims too, whole things been washed but possibly some clumps still attached to the inside of the rim

Whenever I've been out on the beach or mud, once I'm home I park on the lawn and run the sprinkler under the car for 30 minutes to help wash the hard to get areas.

I use one of those sprinklers thats the length of hose with the holes in it. Works well.

My standard JK rims spat out weights all the time. It got to the point where unless the vibration wasn't too annoying, I'd just put up with it. The Pintlers have glued on weights which don't go anywhere.
