Hi all,
I am trying to diagnos some steering issues. I think I have the toe in set pretty dang close. I might just bite the bullet and pay an alignment shop to take a look at it. But I thought I'd toss a few pictures on here to make sure it wasn't something that I am just not seeing. The specs are 2 inch Skyjacker lift, 2 inch longer shackles (only 1 inch lift) 4 degree shims, caster alignment bushing from moog 1.5 degree. New ball joints, new tie rod and ends, new draglink and ends. New shocks rancho 9000 9 way adjustables with the extended mounts but procomp 3000 or 5000 on the back. I have a steering brace but no sway bar. I can drive down the road just fine and it seems to track straight for the most part. Some roads it seems to want to pull to the right others I could let go and it will drive fine. It seems to get loose or squirrely if I get on the gas and get up to 65. It feels like I am correcting a fish tailing condition where I am slightly sawing the steering wheel back and forth. I don't know if I am just preceiving this and in reality it is actually very minor bump steer that I am over correcting. I haven't adjusted the steering box at all and the steering column bearings have play in them not tilt. Also the rag joint was replaced with a borgerson. Before I put the rancho 9000's on it road like a buck board but still seem to want to jump to the right or left on me on the highway.
It there any way to verify all the left springs mounts are aligned the way they should be? Thanks for everyone's time and sorry it was long winded. Here are the pictures in case it is just a draglink angle or shackle angle.
