I installed Rusty's 3.25" coils. At first I got bad death wobble, but that's because my JKS trackbar's jamnut was loose. Once that was tightened with lock-tight and some lower control arms were installed to correct the flightiness of the JK, the death wobble is yet to be seen.

HOWEVER, I do have bump steer and I don't like the feeling. My trackbar and drag link are close to parallel but not perfect. Here are a couple pictures that I hope will somewhat show you...





Questions:

Steering geometry is what effects bump steer, correct? If so, is it just the drag link, or also if it's parallel with the trackbar?

Can wheels/tires affect bump steer? My wheels are 3.75" backspacing with tires that are 12.50" wide.

What can I do to fix my bump steer?

 

Here is the drag link end attached to the knuckle:

Get this Kit from Off-road Evolution.

Do you have a pic from further back? You are looking for them to be parallel from mounting hole to mounting hole, which sometimes isn't easy to compare using the bars as there are bends in them.

Are you running coils spacers in addition to the 3.25" lift? Haven't heard of many people under 4" or so that actually needed a flip kit.

Here is something that TF put together:

They don't look close to me at all. But like someone else said. Without seeing the whole front end in one frame it's real hard to tell. Also flipping the drag link could make it worse.

 

Not running any coil spacers. I would get a pic from further back but that frame-mounted skid plate is in the way. I got roughly 3.5" to 4" with the coils. I'll see if the mounting holes are parallel when it's day time (night now).

Think all I might need is a dropped pitman arm and/or dropped trackbar bracket?

 

See, that I don't want.

 

I hope these help...

 

Flipping the draglink may make it worse. But that is not what I suggested. I pointed to the EVO Kit which flips the draglink but also includes a axle side trackbar bracket which raises the axle side by three inches to correct the geometry.




A dropped pitman arm would not correct anything, even if it did that adds stress to the steering box. A dropped TB bracket would help, but it would put extra stress on the already weak OEM frame side bracket.
The steering kit is the way to go. Don't short change yourself.

When lifting your JK 3” or greater, it is highly recommended to correct some of the steering geometry that has been altered with the lift. The EVO JK Draglink Flip Kit does just that and more.

· Raises trackbar mounting location 3” at the axle to help correct roll center and steering angles of a lifted JK.
· Roll center is greatly improved giving better handling of the vehicle on and off road
· Complete bolt-on design that gives greater strength to already prone to failure factory front trackbar bracket
· Comes complete with new forged draglink
· All bracketry made from 3/16” thick laser cut and CNC bent sheetmetal
· All bracketry is finished in a corrosion resistant Black Powdercoat
· Integrated new steering stabilizer location built in to get it up and out of harm’s way above the TieRod

Notes:
Drilling of the passenger side steering knuckle with 7/8” drill bit is required to complete the install

 

Looks like your drag link is bent. May be some funky angle or the lens but looks bent to me. Look that way to anyone else?
