That’s why I can’t figure out how yours measure equals with a raised mount.
I am right with you. We must be measuring different locations.
Thanks for pic Matt. What height lift are you on, and did you center your axle with track bar or is it same length as factory ? If your track bar is a little short, then that would explain why the bracket helped.I am right with you. We must be measuring different locations.
Angle isn't the best due to the front bumper ski hanging down so far, but check out the attached picture. my Drag link & track bar are almost perfectly aligned.
had a look at the ball joints for fun. 1 of the 2 cotter pins was a bitch. With cotter pins, it always seems if you don’t get the perfect “bend back to straight” on the first try you are stuck messing with it forever lol. Anyhow, the torque was fine. I was able to nudge the bottom to get it at 35lbs but not even enough to change the slot the cotter pin was through so I’m sure it was fine. Top joint was a total pain to get the right angle to get a torque wrench on with an articulating extension with the axel still there. In any event, I checked just the side that seems to initiate the shimmy on impact as to not create extra work yet. And my bump steer/ shimmy may even be excessive to say 1-2 seconds. It’s more like 2-3 shimmy’s of the wheel that takes place in under 1 second (and never a death wobble scenario).
Rancho 2.5 / 3.5” lift. (2.5 on Rubi / 3.5 on sahara)
Well, the shimmy you are describing I have been fighting for the last 3-4 months. I have replaced everything on the front end at least once and a few parts twice. Tires, wheels,ball joints, tie rods, drag links, steering boxes. I probably have spent 5-6k trying to fix it and literally 100’s of hours. I honestly thought I found the problem and just swapped that part out and took it for a drive.....still there. Hopefully one of these days someone figures out the cause, but I am out of ideas and patience at this point.
Wow, that’s brutal. honestly, i really only notice it if i hit this exact same spot on the same road at just the right constant speed (30-40mph) while not under acceleration. I travel the road frequently, which is why I notice it, but frankly it may use be the perfect angle that hits the right tire before the left just enough to throw the axel for a second. It’s not every bump, and I can’t say I’ve felt it on other roads. So maybe its just a fluke on that one spot. Once I start commuting to work more and drive more, I will see I presume
Who was the source for this answer?
That's not a great angle, you need to take it from the bottom front, so we can actually see the track bar's alignment without perspective coming into play.I am right with you. We must be measuring different locations.
