I've been trying to tighten up my steering on my 07 JKU. Got a slight pull left. Drag link and tie rod all new and have been aligned. I know from fixing issues with bump steer on a past TJ that the drag and track bar needs to stay as parallel as possible. I was wondering if mine were close enough. I have a Racho 4" lift and it dropped the track bar and also included a drop pitman arm.

I know the debate on a drop pitman arm goes many directions. But, should all this be good? Does the track bar being lower mean much? I usually see it higher a little.

Also included last alignment report in case anyone sees something that should be adjusted.





Thanks,

looks like both sides of the axle are bent, you can fix with off set ball joints. Yes you want the links to be parallel. Looks like the track bar is mounted too high on the axle.

 

The track bar mount on the axle is in stock location. The lift has a drop bracket for the frame mount location.

 

well then the drop bracket is too low. Drop brackets and drop pitman areas are a bad way to try and correct steering when lifting as they lower the roll center making the jeep more top heavy and prone to body roll which will affect bump steer and tracking.
