This doesn't look right

Among the many issues I have been having with my 91 F150 5.0 2WD, I noticed this today.

Passenger side

Driver side

Something doesn't look right. There is a noticeable wobble when going 30-35mph and then again around 50mph.

Any ideas?

What doesn't look right to you? There's nothing jumping out at me.

Nothing to me either other than the locking tab bent down out of place, rather useless/redundant piece anyway IMO...

Someone probably bent it down rather than loosen it make adjustment, didn't bother bend it backup, either that or got snagged on something at some point.

Unless that's it, one missing other side?

That's what I mean perhaps questioning the difference, wonders if supposed to have one other side too, reason for those two pictures.

I would jack the front up and give each side a good shake. Those ball joints look original, and good chance they're due for replacement. I just noticed my driver side balljoint on my 300, has slop and its original. Luckily, I had the passenger replaced in 04 and its solid.
