I installed a teraflex 2.5 inch lift with 1.75 pucks for a total of just over 4" of lift. I've tried centering my steering wheel but it seems to wander a bit. It seems good at times and sometimes it leans to the left or right. Not sure what to do at this point. Is it because I'm over 4" in lift and I have other steering issues? My jeep rides well and doesn't pull in either direction. I'm tempted to pull the pucks and seeing if dropping to 2.5" of lift will help cure things.

 

Do u have a dropped pitman arm or drag link flip?

 

x2 or any adjustable control arms?

 

I can imagine if the steering is in the stock location you may be getting some torque steer if the steering wheel does not center under acceleration.

 

Drop the spacers or spend the money to make it right. Caster is low and that's making it wander left and right.

 

To clarify. The jeep isn't wandering it's just the steering wheel that wanders back and forth. Not opposed to spending the money to make it right, but not sure what to spend my money on at this point. I don't have a flip kit or a dropped pitman arm. Stock control arms as well. Appreciate the input from everyone so far.

 

Steering is "loose" from loss of caster. With out adjustable control arms it will wander and you will soon destroy the drive shafts. I would remove the spacers or purchase the following-

Drive shafts
Adjustable control arms
Track bars and rear axle end bracket
Steering flip (do not run dropped pitman arm)

Running four inches of lift is expensive.

 

I have had a 3.5 spring and picks on my wife's jku for 2 years plus. With NO PROBLEMS. However I did a drop pitman arm and track bar brackets. After center the wheel it drives fine. It's her dd.
Did you do drop pitman arm or brackets? That would be my guess.

 

I have an adjustable track bar up front and the axle is centered. Track bar relocation bracket in the rear.

 

Thanks for the input. I'm tracking with everything but destroying my driveshafts. Could you please explain. I have an adjustable trackbar on the front and a relocation bracket in the rear. Guess I need to research steering flip. It's a new jeep so I don't want to tear it up before I get a chance to really use it.

Thanks,

Tony
