I've never felt or experienced anything like that on mine since the PSC install. What are your toe and caster settings?
Picking up where I left off

Toe is just over 1/16" in. It was set right before installing the PSC system. I'm not sure what Caster is but I don't think it's much. With a Nth Tummy Tuck and ~4" lift the front pinion needs to be pointed up pretty high. Can it be measured with an angle finder on the Upper Ball Joint?
Yes it can if either you're on level ground or you zero out the angle finder to the ground you're on.
Measured about 2 degrees on the top of the upper ball joint and about 1.5 on the flat at the bottom of the inner C.
On level ground? That is really low caster. Did you have to rotate that much to eliminate vibes? Do you have vibes? Can you add more caster in without creating vibes?
I'm aware of the ruts while driving, but they rarely take control of the Jeep. I don't have hydro yet, but I noticed them more with the popular Monroe damper and less so with the stiffer Fox. I've been meaning to add a bit of caster and see if that further calms things down.
That's zeroed to a 4' level. That angle gets my pinion in line with with the drive shaft. I have had vibes since regearing to 4.88's in 2006.
Perhaps we should move this discussion from Chris's thread?
I'll play with it some more and start a new thread. Apologies for the mini hijack @Chris
Poor Chris, lets go full liberal on him and take him down, eat his threads, throw him to the heathens.
It’s absolutely fantastic! I’ve been daily driving it since the divorce of my wife started and honestly rides better than any TJ has a right to. My issue is that I want to go wheeling with @starkey480 but if something happens to my Jeep I am fucked since I don’t have another car (right now at least) to drive.
My only grip about daily driving it is that it desperately needs Grab Bars and it just sucks gas. I definitely need a daily driver with better MPG and then I’ll feel up to wheeling it. I can tell you that the road manners on this thing are fucking surreal. It rides just as good as my JK did, I kid you not.
Don’t stop living your life cause of this current speedbump. Hell it’s a lot easier for the forum to help you fix a fucked up jeep than a fucked up Camry but we are here for you if needed.
My garage is your garage Chris. My advice is to not let her have more power over you than she has. Go wheeling and enjoy every part of life you can. If something breaks we’ll figure it out.
Breaking the jeep lowers its "Fair Market Value"
JK. That jeep is so built you'd need to go on something insane, or be careless, to put it in any real danger. Hang in there.
^^ This - it’s unlikely you’ll do enough to not be able to use it even!
I appreciate that greatly! I would at least like to get my spare tire back. The good news is that I have a court hearing on Monday and I should be able to get back then and get the remainder of my stuff, at which point I’ll feel a bit better.
You’re right I’m sure. But you can understand the caution I have in the back of my head. And just in case anyone suggests a rental car, I advise them to look into the rental car shortage, it’s for real. Can’t even get them, and if you can they are insanely priced.
