why does my XJ drag to the left?

shimmy · Nov 16, 2004

i put some new LA's on and now my XJ veers to the left... the LA's are the same length, the alignment is correct, but the XJ drags to the left! when i press on the brakes there seems to be an increase on in the veering. is it possible that my front left brake is sticky?

PS, i know i should probably inspect the XJ before i ask for help, but i'm too lazy to rundown to the garage tonight ;D

on GO.Jeep's website he lays out the left / right drag. i dont know why this is and it doesnt seem to make sense to me, but might help you?

my LA setup is radius style like Clayton's if that makes a difference.
