Hey anyone know of a front end specialist in victorville/hesperia area? Im tired of trying to trouble shooting my steering problems and getting nowhere. Thanks.
haha thanks. its more than an alignment. i have a popping sound that sounds like its coming from my steering box and i have bad death wobble and bump steer. :wow:there is a good shop by my house called mikes tires that does good alignment jobs for 40 bucks.
town and country tire in apple valley
town and country tire in apple valley ask for james they have a lot of experience with jeeps and suspension lifts as well long arm kits :worship:
on bear valley rd. just past kiowa on the northside of the road !!!!!!!!
i bought new knuckles and reamed them precise. i replaced the ball joints and thats bout it. im thinking that the steering box is bad because theres a lot of play and popping in the steering box.assgas:Anthony, before you take it to a shop, what have you done to try to fix the problem? Are you sure the popping is coming from the steering box and not the trackbar? If it is the steering box, check the mounting bolts and check the frame around the box for cracks.
Surely, a few people can figure this one out.
i took the bracket off a long time ago and replaced the RE tracbar bushing on the axle side.Could the bumpsteer possibly be caused by the track bar drop braket with the OTK steering? :dunno:
I hear you all talking about what a good job T & C does with Jeeps .
I had bad experience with their work as well as very poor customer service (apple valley store). this was with my F-250. I am not sure how their work is with a XJ, but with my experience with them I wouldnt go there even if they are good on XJ
Pro Tire as mentioned did a good job on my new set of tires on my XJ and I would have them do my front end work if I had the money and didnt want to do it myself or know someone on here to help . I had found an XJ going around town with a website address on it so i checked it out. It looks like the Guy does work on all sorts of Jeeps. I dont know the guy, but he might be able to suggest someone local and or do work himself and his site makes him seem friendly to jeep people ... http://thejeepguyonline.com/
When I get some funds I will look into my front end as well. I had DW too and with new tires it went away, however my steering wonders even with new tires. I replaced my pitman arm tierod end and my track bar is good. I was told by a shop my ball joints could be bad but I have had a few mech back and forth on that issue .
