Jeep pulls to the left?
Well, let me start at the begining. I blew my streering stabilizer offroad and started having a death wobble problem. I replaced it with a bilstein and the had the front end aligned. Now the death wobble is gone but the Jeep pulls hard to the left. If I let the Steering wheel go it will go straight into the left lane. HELP! I need to fix this before it messes up my front tires. Thanks!
I would take it back to shop that aligned it. Also I have heard that steering stabilizers are just a cover to the real issue of death wobble. I tore up my steering stabilizer over a year ago and have never had a wobble
I'd start by not taking my hands off the steering wheel...lol just kidding. I had mine aligned after I got my wheel/tires and they said they were able to get everything "within tolerance" however they said something might be slightly bent preventing perfect alignment. Mine pulls slightly to the left as well, so you might want to see whether you have anything else that's bent under there.
No steering stabilizer can mask real death wobble. I doubt you experienced that. Because there is no way a stabilizer will fix DW. So I think what you experienced was bumpsteer or shimmy. This can be corrected a number of ways, torquing TB, alignment, tire balance, bad ball joint replacement, replace bad bushings, adding adjustable control arms to correct castor, too much air in the tires, or steering correction kits such as drag link flip kits. Front LCA's can help correct your pulling by tweaking the lengths of each side. This can be dialed in during alignment, stock fixed length control arms cannot be adjusted.
Well, I'm well aware of what death wobble is. This is not my first Jeep or the first time I've delt with it. I know there are alot of different reasons that can contribute to it. What my problem is, is when I take my hands off the wheel the Jeep goes straight to the left! I had adjustable control arms, Now I have fixed arms that are the same lenght as the adjustable ones that were on there. I've checked and rechecked all the bolts. The tires were just balanced and are every time I change the oil. I pretty much figure it is an alignment issue. I'm just trying to figure out which part of the alignment. I believe the toe is all that is adjustable.
