Hello everyone

I aleady install my new full traction long arm suspension, everything gone pretty good, but i have a question about the front sway bar links.

I install the front arms such as the manual says with the starting measurements, 24.5" front upper and 33.5" front lower, also the track bar 32.5", i double check it.

When i install the quick disconect sawy bar links i see that the distance between the links and the coils is diferent, been this distance larger on the passenger side than the driver side.

My question is, is this normal?, or do i have to make another adjustment or i made a mistake in the installation?.

Another question, what grease do you recomend me for the heim joints?

Hope you can help me.

Thank you!!.

This is a picture of the driver side, see the distance of the sway bar link and the coil:






This is the passenger side, the distance is bigger!!.

 

Is the coils seated right? What's your pinion angle? It's not really that far off.

The heims do not need greased.

 

the coils are seeting in the right pleace, i havent check the pinion angle, i will check it!!!!!.

Thank you so much, would you tellme what is the correct pinion angle that i should put.

Thanks!!.

 

I would recommend that you set your caster angle at about +7°-8, if your can get it to that without causing driveline vibs.

it'll handle very well.

 

what about the ball joints? what grease would be good for them?

 

I think u mean the spherical joint on the frame end right?

I use a red, high tac grease used on semi 5th wheels. It's heat and water proof. If u didn't pre-grease the bushings prior to install. I would pull the and grease, same thing with the track bars.

 

JKCHARLIE,

Chris (Piginajeep) was kind enough to draw my attention to this thread.

JK CHARLIE,

It does not appear there is anything wrong.
Pics from that angle suggest that there is just some natural bow in the coils in opposing directions.
If you are truly concerned, you should have it inspected by your alignment specialist or a professional installer.
Remember, a couple bucks in preventative work, beats every dollar spent on repair.
