i posted a few weeks ago about this binding/grinding noise i got when only turning left and i must be moving.
well long story short. i put in a entire new front axle assembly out of my donor truck. mainly cuz it had 3.55s *was upgrading from 3.07* so i figured i change that and problem should be gone. well it wasn't. so i could rule out balljoints, ujoints, rod ends, wheel bearings etc.
so this left me a bit stumped. well i was under the jeep today putting in a new starter and noticed on my passenger side that the bottom of the coil spring sits awefully close to the knuckle on that side. i'd say within 1/16 or a bit more of a inch. now what i'm thinking is when i'm turning left and the springs compressing on the passenger side its rubbing the knuckle.
trucks a 88 4.0 atx. 4" lift. 3" spacer and 1" zj coil. OE trackbar.
i'm thinking if i put a adjustable trackbar in and get the axle centered under the truck properly it should make way for a bit more clearance between the coil spring and the steering knuckle on the passenger side.
thoughts guys?
