Let me give a brief overview of my setup first. Hp dana 44 narowed to waggy width with hi steer arms, three link and heim steering with a wj pitman arm. About a month and a half ago I went into firestone for my routine lifetime alignment and came out with a vehicle that was undriveable. Forced me left to right while trying to drive straight and massive bumpsteer on bumps. I had no evident problems before and rig was even decent at 70 mph. They had told me my driver side ball joints were shot so took a look and sure enough they were in bad shape. I replaced them and problem became worse. After making sure everything was tight as can be and checking frame for any cracks I noticed a little play in sector shaft and figured maybe some in durango box failed even though it was just rebuilt by psc. I swapped box for stock xj box and replaced passenger side ball joints as well. Problem was just as evident so I started getting real picky. Saw little play in steering shaft so I replaced it and got another alignment since things were off again. Still forcing me all over the road. I even adjusted my pinion angle to 6.5 degrees from 10 and it band aided the problem a little but not the answer. Also all joint in control arms are ballistic joints that are brand new and heims are all in good shape as well. Im getting desperate trying to get this thing streetable again. Is there anything I have missed. Could I be having some sort of steering shaft failure in the column possibly???
Dont know if pictures help but just an idea of what my setup is.
