To start off with I'll aplogize for the long post. But here is the story.
I have a 98 XJ with a 6.5" lift, Adjustable Control Arms, Drop Pitman Arm, 33" Tires, Tera Flex Hight Steer Kit, Stock HP30, Steering Box Brace, Steering Stabalizer.
Just went thru and replace all my bushings and re-torque everything on the front end. Replace all 4 ball joints. Measured out the lower control arm lengths and they measured the same. Measured the Toe-In to be at 1/4". So I have basically replace or fixed everything that is attached to the frontaxle that could give me anytype of problems.
The problem that I use to have was a horrible case of the death wobbles. That issue was fixed when I replaced all the bushings. But know the issue is that it likes to steer on its own. It wonders around like if I was coming home from the bar and had a few to many.
I have been reading up on this exact same type of problem and read on this forum somewere that on top of the steering box there is an-adjuster, if out of wack the steering would have these same type of issues.
Does anyone now if this would be another plausable fix and if so can someone please send out a more detailed write up on how to go about with it?
At this point I am completly out of ideas, besides getting a hole new steering box and hoses, but I dont feel like dumping money on the heep right now.
Thanks
