Pics of my Jeep's front end...

Any idea why I might be getting bump or roll steer with this setup, (check signature line)...

 

Angles look good.

 

Thanks that is a great illustration.

 

Did you just install a new component to your front suspension or steering system? Or have you had this problem for a while?

 

Tires are newest addition, maybe because I moved up to 37's from 35's the feeling is magnified.

If the angles appear good it may just be inherent in solid axles and takes some gettin used seeing as this is my first solid axle vehicle.

 

Did you add new tires at the same time? I would check tire balancing and pressures first. Re-torque everything, even the wheel spacers if used. if this checks out OK, the problem could be remedied with some small adjustment to your lower control arms.

Is the rear squared away? Lots of handling problems with JKs are actually caused by problems in the rear.

Good luck.

 

New tires were installed at same time, balanced twice, no wheel spacers. Thanks!

 

Bump steer (so we're talking about the same thing) is a turn of the steering wheel when you hit a bump.... and in reality it is just the lengthening of the drag link as the vehicle hits a bump.

As the angle of the drag link lessens (gets closer to parallel to the ground) the straight tires force the now longer drag link over a little and it affects the steering wheel. Since the track bar and drag link are nicely parallel, its not getting much better.

A little more caster will help keep it feeling a bit more planted, but your steering looks fantastic.

 

Did you adjust caster after adding the:
1 3/4" Daystar Coil Spacers

(my thought was you installed the lift and adj arms, then added the spacers - but did not re-adjust the caster...)

 

Thanks, maybe I just needed to get third party confirmation that all is well with steering. Also, u gave insight into the geometry of the steering setup on a solid axle...useful.

Thanks
