Hi,

Welcome to FixYa.

Based on your post I'm wondering if the nut that keeps the spray arm intact is stripped or is it possibly just not secured ?

Are all the components intact and in place properly ? This is the order in which they should appear.

Once everything is in place you should be left with an assembly like this...the key is to hold the nut while turning the spray arm clockwise to fasten it correctly, otherwise you will strip the nut.

If any of this isn't clear let me know. I've also attached a link that has a video of the process of dis-assembly and reassembly.

Let me know how you make out, I'll watch your post.

Frigidaire Model FGID2466QF2A - Middle Spray arm is hitting larger dishes and may seem a bit wobbly. How do I move to provide clearance?

They should not wobble a lot. They have to be able to spin, but should not have a lot of lateral movement. See if you can remove the spray arm and clean out all the spray jets. If some are blocked at one side it causes the arm to not spin true and flat. It spin with one side high and one side low. The other problem may be incorrect loading of dishes.

Most dishwashers dispense the detergent via gravity and the sprayer arms spraying against the soap dispenser once the little door flips open during the wash cycle. Since it sounds like the soap door is opening I would look at the sprayer arms and make sure they are free of food particles or other debris that might be keeping them from rotating and spraying properly. Here are some instructions for performing this check.

Remove the lower dishrack from the unit. Reach into your dishwasher and spin the lower spray arm. Take note of whether or not the arm moves freely or if its movement is restricted. It should not be restricted in its path of motion. Now gently pull up on an end of the spray arm. The spray arm should be free to wobble up and down. Unscrew the arm retaining knob (some of these are left hand threads) and take the arm out for inspection and carefully examine the spray arm seams. If they have split or are damaged, the dishes may not receive the amount of water pressure required to fully clean the dishes or to rotate the arm properly. What’s more, if water is in fact spraying out of the spray arm from its seams, it is possible that it can cause your dishwasher to leak. Make sure there is no debris in any of the holes.

If your dishwasher has a spray tower, pull up on it as far as it will go and then let it fall back down. Again, this movement should not be restricted. It should be a fluid and smooth motion. Also, unscrew the spray tower and examine it for any debris or foreign objects. Remove any that you find.
Gain access to the upper spray arm by removing the upper dishrack. Perform the same tests for the upper spray arm as you just did for the lower spray arm. Keep in mind that the upper spray arm may not wobble as much as the lower spray arm.
On a final note, some dishwasher models have a water tube that meets up with the upper spray arm once the upper dishrack is pushed back. It is a good idea to check to make sure this tube is aligning properly with the upper spray arm and that this has not split or is damaged in any other way.

1994 4Runner-why does front Rgt tire wobble@50-70KL or wobble @thos speed when hitting a little bump or big bump&will not let me go past 70KL without starting to wobble??

Not Tie Rods, probably Upper and lower Ball joints OR look at the stabilizer bar if your truck has one, check for worn bushings on that.

Right front side wobbling real bad. someone said something about some kind of "arms" connected to the tires. what are they called?

Lower control arms. There are two bushings that are at the frame, if these are gone then it is possible for it to wobble. I would also check the wheel bearing and ball joint. To check these lift the tire off the ground. For the bearing grab the tire top and bottom push it in and out, if there is any movement the bearing is worn. If these are worn enough they to will cause a wobble. For the lower ball joint have someone put a 2 X 4 under the tire and lift as you watch the ball joint. if it moves up and down in the socket it is bad. All these together can cause a significant wobble. The lower control arm mounts to the frame and the lower ball joint is mounted to the lower control arm at the tire and the bearing is the part that holds the tire on.

I hit a hole backing out of a driveway and after i heard a noise in the front end from hitting a hole the front tire started to wobble and pull to the left, something is wrong please tell me what

This could be a few things, first try switching a rear tire to the front and see if that helps, you may have bent the rim but you would need to look at it and see is the rim is bent then look at the tie rod end to see if its bent, you could have bent the strut or lower control arm too. i would take a look at the tie rod end and see if its bent, here the thing, you say it wobbles and pulls, a tie rod end or strut or control arm will make the car pull but not wobble, a wobble would be caused by a bent rim or tire witth a bubble and this can make the car pull, tire putting the spare tire on and see if it still pulls and wobbles, if it doesnt then you know its the rim or tire, hope this helps.

How do i put the lower spray arm back together? I had to replace the top screw part and it seems to stand up to high. I have a small white plastic ring, a larger white split ring and the arm itself. I...

Spray arm first, then the split white ring on top and the top screw. There will be around 1 1/8" gap (the spray arm wobbles when it's not running). You're doing it correctly.

97 CRV wobble on exceleration in front end

Check for: bent rim, out of round tire, bent CV axle
Check by jacking up front end and lowering lower control arms onto two jack stands. Then start vehicle and carefully shift into drive. Look closely at the front tires and axles while rotating for any visible wobble.

The bottom spray arm gets jammed in lower dish rack.

I would unscrew the cap and remove the whole thing... you might have something clogging one side, which makes more water come out on one side than another, causing it to wobble... or you may find something else causing the problem.

If there is a blockage, clearing it out can be tricky. really long pipe cleaners work well. Craft stores have them.
