i am always curious about all these threads about all the threads on all these steering mods...

I've got 37's with a 4" lift and I've never had any steering issues so far

Is the steering stabilizer using the same bolt as the track bar?

 

Start by taking a look at which components came with your 4" BDS lift. Are there any components that just might correct the steering angles? A raised trackbar bracket and drop pitman, perhaps?

In the case of the comments and picture from earlier today, the drag link was flipped to the top of the knuckle (as opposed to being lowered by your drop pitman), but the trackbar stayed right where it was (as opposed to being relocated by your bracket). So the bars in the pic started parallel to each other, and now, as we can see, they are not. (as opposed to yours that were both relocated and remained parallel to each other).


Just stole this pic from the Trackbar thread (thanks Trauma). See if you can tell the difference between it and the two D_engel quoted earlier...

 

Another shot showing the track bar and drag link being parallel.

 

Hey guy your Jeep probably drives like shit, but no offense!!!! Really???? Maybe you could have offered some suggestions as to what is wrong and maybe a remedy. It actually drives pretty good; I have however noticed that I now have just a bit of bump-steer that I never had before. When I decided to get the new RK springs I knew I was going to gain some lift, that's why I decided to do the drag-link flip. No one informed me that I needed to raise the track-bar also and keep it in line with the drag-link.

Well after ready all these wonderful posts, from such helpful people (sarcasm if you did't notice) and sending Synergy some e-mails along with a photo of my current setup, I can say that. I have learned a good amount of info. I also have ordered the Synergy track-bar relocation bracket to address the issue.

 

Yes it is the same bolt, it is installed correctly. FOX includes a new track-bar bolt with the ATS stabilizer that utilizes the same bolt. If you do a search on YouTube they actually have a video done by FOX and Offroad Warehouse that shows the install.

 

In all fairness, you did give an initial review of the performance, with zero indications that anything was wrong.

Had you said something simple like:

you would have received the constructive comments indicating 'why' you are now getting the bumpsteer, instead of comments wondering how the steering was still good.

 

Thank you for the explanation, so that's what a gusseted axle looks like

Does it really make a big difference in the strength along that axis?

That is a truss not gussets...

 

When installed correctly the truss is stronger than sleeves.
