Ok so I will start at the begining, I installed a 4.5 RC lift with full leaf packs and the X-flex control arms. The Kit also came with an adj trac bar. After i Installed the kit i started to take my xj out wheeling and have had a few issues. It seems that every time i go out i come back with the steering wheel cocked off to the side or upside down and i have to adjust it back. Also I have the Trac Bar adjusted all the way out and the axle is still dog tracked to the drivers side. All the fasteners are tight so i dont know why I have these problems. Also I hit a tree at the bottom of an embankment, this certainly didnt help. The lower control arm brackets bent over into the axle. It took a fair bit of tweaking and welding but they are pretty straight now. I still wonder if this has something to do with my front end problems. I just want to get my jeep back to normal/fun driving and keep it there. Any ideas on my front end issues would be much appreciated!!! Thanks!

Also the control arms have not treated me well. The bushings in the flex end are shot after 6 months use and they cause a clunking noise when accelerating, braking, and hitting bumps.
