Bumpsteer/ shimmies
2.5 TF BB, 315/70/17 duratracs liquid metal gatlins
In installed my BB by wayoflifes write up
I am currently in the process of changing out my track bar bolts to the reccomended size. I have never experienced death wobble but I have noticed shimmies when hitting concrete seams / joints. These shimmies are more noticable since switching to 35s from stock sra tires. Am I expecting too smooth of a ride?
With my setup do I need to change out any components with adjustable tracbars, brackets ,stabelizers, etc, or do I just need to torque everything and look for damage on my current set up?
Thanks

[QUOTE=mpkelley20;3009434]You shouldn't need to anything and stuff like bumpsteer shouldn't be occuring at that height. Maybe 3.5" and up people tend to get it. Are you still running stock track bars? How "off" are you from being perfectly centered? Are your tires balacned?
I'd check your alignment and tires before swapping out components. And of course, make sure everything is properly torqued.[/QUOte
Tires came balanced from discount tire direct.
Stering wheel seems to be centered.
