Well after a month, my original issues before the full on death wobble are back.
Back story
Little wobble in the steering wheel found bad drag link end at pitman arm.. replaced with flip kit and track bar relocation. then unbearable death wobble
Took to a shop, found bad ball joints, replaced all 4 added c gusset and new rancho steering stabilizer.
Damn Jeep drove so great for 2 weeks, tight steering, 0 bump steer, super smooth.... better than sliced bread
Suddenly one day it started feeling loose, kinda darting back and forth and pulling to the left, sloppy steering wheel. Then the other day over the RR tracks the steering wheel wobble was back(not death wobble), only happened once so far.
So back under I go, triple check all bolts, solid tight... bushings no slop
So here I am as of now....
Drag link and flip...... brand new maybe 300 miles. solid and tight
track bar...... put my stock one back on with the relocation bracket, it had 12k on it when I took it off. Solid tight bolts, move the wheel back and forth zero bushing movement
ball joints... brand new moog.... doubtful they would be bad out of the box?? But maybe? Since I back to the same place before they were installed ?
Rancho 5000 SS....... brand new...... thought it might be an issue with pulling, but supposedly ranchos will not pull or have dead spots
And with the steering wheel wobble, Im afraid to take it off and try with out it after what I went through before
control arms... all solid, good joints and greased
When it was in the shop the tie rod checked out fine although its stock original with 35k miles on it... unit bearings fine.
So unless something else went bad or something fixed went south, I cant figure out what happened since everything was so great for 2 weeks after I left the shop.
Im just frustrated with all the cash Ive got into it with it going south again
Any thing I might be missing or ideas??
Thanks again
Tony
