RK 3.5 X Factor Mid Arm question
Hey guys. On my 07 jku rubi. I have the 3.5 mid arm X factor kit. The rear track bar rubs the passenger coil spring just a HAIR, and the coils are sitting on a bit of a slant, I know that the kit moves the rear axle back a bit. Is this normal and does anyone have any input on this ? Check out the pics. Not sure if you can really tell.
Also guys another question. Sounds stupid but damn I'm stumped. When I make left turns I feel a rubbing noise and vibration, and sometimes it kicks the traction control on....I already removed my rear bumper ( it rubbed ), I have 1.5 spacers and I've checked everything even with a go pro and I can't seem to figure out what the hell is causing this issue

I shortened my control arms until I can replace the coil perches with some that align the coils back up and I'm also going to move the frame side trac bar bracket back an inch, so its not in a bind. Also thinking of new brackets for the shocks. My shocks only have about 1/4" clearance from the axle side tracked bar bracket. If you don't already have them, you could try correction wedges under the springs. That helped mine a little.
I had the front end aligned and the steering wheel was corrected at the same time at the 4x4 shop by me :(

As far as that noise you hear when you make a left turn, is it when you turn the wheel fully? My 37" front driver side mud terrain tire was rubbing the front lower control arm on the driver side. The side lugs on the tire were making a horrible noise against it. I added some washers to the steering stop. I have the same RK kit. I installed with a friend and have a few slight bugs to work out so I decided to call Smashboogie4x4 for a hand. They seem like great guys and even drive to your house to check out your Jeep first. They are working on mine tomorrow. I will try to keep you posted.
