Hi please can you help
I'm hoping someone can help me on here. I live in the UK and have had my 2 door 2011 JK for the last 7 years and driven around 70,000 miles on it. I have a 2 1/2 Terraflex lift with additional hockey puck spacers (1/2 in at front and 1 1/2 in at rear due to sagging springs) and 35" tires.
The Jeep drives like utter garbage, and is bordering on dangerous. I'm thinking of selling it. The steering is very vague, I run 35's but it all used to be OK but has got more vague over time. Last month I had new heavy duty front ball joints (upper and lower) installed on the front and 2 new front axle shafts thinking this would help things. It didn't really help. I then took the Jeep in for the tracking and 2 garages found the front track arm seized. I'm just really not sure what I need as I want to get the steering back to how it was (not necessarily how it was when stock). I'm on a budget as I'm getting married soon and parts in the UK are 50% more expensive. I've been told I need a new adjustable front track bar to do the tracking properly (this was fixed temporarily by pointing the wheels in but after 2 weeks its back to the same old wandering down the highway), I've also been told adjustable upper and lower track arms , steering shock (I have Fox all round) and springs (I have Teraflex) but I'm not certain this is necessary, as right now budget dictates as I and I'd like to order the jL in a couple of months.
I hoping that someone who really knows their stuff can really help me. BTW this is my daily driver and is mostly used on the highway, and England has lots of windy roads and roundabouts (circles) to navigate :shock:
Thanks
Paul
