D.W

[LittleD]

Now im getting desperate for a solution. Jeep was fine for about 2 days and it came back. Originally tires got a shimmy so im thinking balencing issue? Im gonna go talk to the local jeep fanatic and see what he can do to help me out but thought i should ask here first.

Heres some pics to see if anyone can point out a cause of d.w

Lower control arm


This coil seems like it's bent but maybe it's just me.


can anyone spot a cause, no real point to this one but maybe someone will find something wrong with my setup. (i know i shouldn't have stock steering but it's the next thing on the list of purchases.)

Your steering and control arm angles seem to be screwed up. You need long arms or drop brackets, something with the steering, check the aligment.

it's probabley a combination of what caleb said and maybe 1 of your tires is off balance/broken band .... check all of the above

get a better pic of your trackbar mount on the axle side. also are those stock lowers ?

[Magilla]

is your lower control arm hitting your shock mount at ride height?

[LittleD]

i believe they are fixed lowers for a 4.5 inch lift, they are made of square tubing i believe. Ill get a pic in the am of that bracket

ok wasnt sure from the pic. does it have a relocation bracket for your trackbar ? i cant see one... which would also explain the bending spring.

the bracket looks like this ( drops down below stock trackbar hole)


id still bet a bad bushing, grab a friend and check track bar bushing yet ?

[LittleD]

Bushings got done last weekend, and no i dont have a track bar drop bracket on the axle side. Where can i get one?

bad ball joints? looks like quite a bit of negative camber in the right front wheel

since i have the next 4 days off, ill take the measurements with the camber scale (or what ever it's called)

[LittleD]

Just talked to my dad and he said that these front ends aren't adjustable when it comes to camber

^^^ this is why you might have bad balljoints, also those lowers look like they are resting on your axle brackets, because they should have a bend in them

[LittleD]

I know this is a really stupid question but, why is it bad to have the lower touching the shock mount?
