Most likely ball joints.

The only brackets I’d ever recommend (I wouldn’t ever use them) are the Metalcloak because they are bulletproof.

It’s really a pretty straight forward install. Plenty of help available on these boards, just ask.

Bushwhacker doesn’t make very great stuff so not likely many people here have any experience with them.

The rubicons come from the factory with caster that is already too low. Add a lift and it gets pretty bad. Between that and the fact that the Mopar lift control arms are 1/4” longer than stock I’d find a new shop or do your own wrenching. The guy is at best misinformed.

It really depends on how you use it and what size tires you have. I've seen the garbage factory ball joints trashed in under 10k miles.

I would not trust that the dealer knows where caster should be on a lifted Jeep. Measure is yourself or take it to an independent alignment shop to have it checked. Depending on the lift/components your caster may not be adjustable. If that is the case it's likely way too low. You want it to be...

What is your caster set at?

What load range of tires? What pressure? What shocks? The RC stuff is pretty low quality.

Really? That’s definitely not the deal I got. The SS shafts weren’t available at the time but it was $200 and change for the rebuild and IFP conversion. It’s probably the new stainless shaft that’s jacking the price up but I wasn’t charged any labor for the rebuild/conversion. You might try...

I’m a big fan of these guys. The HF stands make me nervous ever since they had their run of failures. https://a.co/d/2I2x11n

I’m not really sure what you expect Dynatrac to do. You have a noise that you can’t even pinpoint on an axle that’s out of warranty and you want them to do what exactly?

Why AEV? That’s not much of an upgrade over what you already have. Pretty simple install to do yourself.

Did you get it swapped out? How's it running?

Yeah I would open up the backlash ever so slightly and re-run a pattern. You are really close. If you thin the paint more and add more resistance while turning you should get a little clearer pattern as well.

Just curious, how many of these “symptoms of poor caster” have you actually troubleshot and resolved?

The only thing you listed caused by poor caster is wandering, and that wouldn’t be something you’d notice off-road.

You’re going to need $1500-$2000 if you’re looking to replace shocks and springs. Front track bar likely needs addressing as well. Are you airing down your tires when off-road?

How does caster being off cause jolting?
