Parallel only works if they are the same length. They are not the same length and therefore have different travel arcs. If your suspension moves enough, you'll have issues.

Hmmm ok well the are both synergy. I would expect that they were designed to work together. I'll measure them.

So... Let's say they are slightly different lengths. What would the solution be?

Checked rear lower CA's.

On joint bad.

Other isn't all that tight. I'm just going to rebuild them all.

Do you have a rear raised axle side tracbar bracket? You shouldn't raise the front without raising the rear that will throw off your roll center. You can however raise the rear without the front.

Also do you have a drop bracket installed on your front or rear frame side tracbar bracket? If you have a drop bracket installed on the front frame side bracket and a raised bracket on the axle side as well that will screw up your geometry

No I have front and rear axle side raised trackbar brackets. With draglink flip of course.

I pulled the rear LCA's today and found 1 joint bad and the other isn't all that tight.

I'm going to rebuild all the rear joints.

Can see movement unless I take them off. So I figured I'd just stop pulling them off and plan to rebuild them all after I get the rebuild kits.

At least now I have a next step. Thinking that's the issue.
