Best pic i have so far.

But anyways any speed after 60km an hr the jeep rolls and sways really bad. It almost feels like bump steer, it does drive straight but any small bump it just throws the jeep around. I have done everything except the drag link flip. My bushings on my control arms are all in good shape. All my ball joints are brand new. It steers side to side really bad.

Im about to order a drag link flip and want to make sure i do the right thing first before i spend money.


Thanks, Josh.

How parallel are you trac bar and drag link? That will tell u if its bump steer or something else.

More information needed re: your setup. Lift brand, amount, other suspension mods, etc. Could be bump steer, but might just be your setup needs tweaking.

I am thinking bump steer. But even on smooth ground it does it.

I would say lack of caster and the low roll center in addition to the bump steer. Drag link flip, raise the axle side track bar mount, and look into some front lower adjustable control arms.

I was looking at the teraflex one, does it need to be drilled out? Or does that one use the same size joint? Want to make sure before i spend 260$. I have everything l

You have to drill out the knuckle on any drag link flip unless you already have reid knuckles that are set up for high steer.

I would go synergy for the link. The double adjuster is worth it.
