When driving down the road he sometimes gets a shimmy when he hits a bump. Sounds to me he's getting some steering deflection. Is there a kit that ties the front end together or is there a sway bar made for the PT's that addresses his problem?

Yes, I see a lot on the internet that addresses lower ball joint problems. I just found a TSB that addresses a problem with the struts. There was a suspension recall for 2005 and 2006 Cruisers
