I need that for my garden!
Guessing it's called bump steering - had it on my 2005 when I purchased it - medium lift with 33" tires. Google says need to restore the angles of the track bar and drag link so they're close to factory spec.He just put a brand new set of fire stones on it and had them balance so I don't think it's the tires
Thanks for thatGuessing it's called bump steering - had it on my 2005 when I purchased it - medium lift with 33" tires. Google says need to restore the angles of the track bar and drag link so they're close to factory spec.
Hay @DarkWeb got a quick question for the Jeep Guru a death wobble at 55 when you hit a bump you have any ideas what that could be?
Had the pitman arm and his sway bar as my targets I appreciate it a lot thank you so very much
Those two lines are your track bar and drag link. It's point to point.....don't worry about if the bars have any bend in them. The bends are for clearance only.
The closer to parallel they are the better for bump steer.
As for the wobble it's probably a worn out bushing or tie rod end. Best to get the weight off the tires. Grab a pry bar and pry between all the ends.....if something moves more than normal it's most likely the culprit. You can also have someone saw the steering wheel side to side with weight on the tires while you look under the front end for abnormal movement.
You beat me to it ... dusty backroads have caused us to replace tie rods cause of worn out bushings before their time.... As for the wobble it's probably a worn out bushing or tie rod end ...
I taught him everything he knows

Sway bar would thump....not give a shake.Had the pitman arm and his sway bar as my targets I appreciate it a lot thank you so very much
A punch and hammer work great too. Couple whacks and they usually pop right out.some genius had tryed to replace the tie rod end (before i had it) and snapped off the locking pin and just put it all back together so i had to drill that out first, before i got my new tie rod on
yeah it was pretty well rusted in there, thats why the previous owner gave up, i used a punch to make a guide for the drill and got her sorted that way.A punch and hammer work great too. Couple whacks and they usually pop right out.
Just thinking here.....did the shake happen while you where on the brakes? Did you make sure to lube the sliders on the calipers?It was kind of funny just got done doing a brake job on it took it out for a test drive and hit a bump doing 55 and the thing turned into and unbalanced washing machine lol
Information that was reveal to me when I drop the vehicle off was that he had rolled the vehicle and the death wobble has been there ever sinceJust thinking here.....did the shake happen while you where on the brakes? Did you make sure to lube the sliders on the calipers?
And yes I did and since I did the rotors and the drums in the back I took a power drill with a wire brush on it and cleaned it allJust thinking here.....did the shake happen while you where on the brakes? Did you make sure to lube the sliders on the calipers?
Another pitfall of back road and dirt lane dust.... Did you make sure to lube the sliders on the calipers ...
