I just finished installing the Dominion OffRoad Steering Stabilizer relo bracket and a new Bilstein SS. Install went fine and no issues. Went on a 20 mile test drive and notice that the rig now pulls left a bit. Not much but noticeable enough that I think something is off. Anybody else experience this? Could it be the location of the clamp on the tie rod that needs to be moved? The instructions have you installing the shock tube end at the tie rod clamp (reverse of stock) but also has a note that some older JK's requires you to flip it end to end. Could this be my issue?

TIA

 

Nope it's there. Torqued it down to 125lbs per instructions then drilled the other hole with a 1.2" cobalt bit. I noticed that the tie rod clamp had moved no more than 1.4" inch from the dirt marks so I just moved it again just in case this was the cause. I see in your picture that you have the SS shock tube on the relo bracket end instead of what the instructions said. Reason for this? Also since you were so kind to reply, the stud on the tie rod clamp, how much did you have to rotate it from straight up? Thanks!

 

Snapped a picture of relo bracket ...

 

I had the same thing when I installed the Bilstein SS with no other changes and I have seen a couple of other threads saying the same thing. The Bilstein SS is charged so that it wants to be extended, that gives you your pull tho the left. In time it will break in and the pull will go away. Anyway, that's what happened with mine. I think it is a good unit. CM

 

Thanks for the info. How long did it take yours to settle?
