my friends thunderbolts always seem to wobble. he cranks up the bolt with mad force but in 5 minutes they still wobble, no matter what the spacer combination.
also, my other friends wombolts also seem to wobble but thats acceptable (those cranks are like 5 years old)

I have never come across a set of Wom/Thunderbolts that had wobble which wasn't due either to a lack of spacers or spacer tube, or insufficient grease under the head of the bolt or on the wedges. That lip on the cranks where the bolt head runs MUST be well greased so it can go tight properly.
If it is an old set of Wombolts with the old wedges then having some of the wedges upside down can cause it also.
I hope this helps.

How old are they? Where are they cracked? Warranty.

Possibly, but more often than not it is a lack of spacers or lube... If you ride them for a long time loose then it will obviously eventually deform the wedges and they may need to be replaced to get them to tighten up without wobble, but it will be fixable.
