everytime i hit a bump with my new 33's they go crazy till i slow down....it shakesthe wheel right out of my hands almost.... :swear_mad:

i wish i could figure out my problem...and i dont know if i have it aligned properly... :swear_mad:

What lift kit are you running?
Did it include a dropped pitman arm?
If so, that may be your problem.  YJs don't need a pitman arm drop unless you are running a tall suspension lift

Leaf spring Jeeps dont suffer from the same thing as coils with Death Wobble,

but you can get bump steer and other things...

Frank has the right questions,,,


are you using your swar bar,  did you use the stupid track bar relocating bracket?

i am going to static balance this saturday, and I want to try and get the steering stabilizers on...the guy i did the tires with might be able to switch the machine to static from dynamic so i can do it that way

4" RE standard lift, no drop pitman and I didnt use one on dad's 4" TJ lift so i didnt bother getting one for this one....plus i have manual steering

lots of differances between TJs and YJs. Tjs really don't need one till you get about 6 inchs or so, as for YJs and i don'y have much experience in this area with them, but i have seen and heard that at 4 inchs they need one. Every vehicle is differant too, and may react differant.
