There may already be a discussion about this but, to be honest, I’m too lazy to look…lol!! I know that Jeeps don’t drive like a sports car but, driving my jeep keeps you on your toes. I’ve had the jeep for about 5yrs now and have done a ton of suspension work to it because I’ve always thought it could handle better. The thing that I did today has made the greatest improvement to the handling. I removed the front driveshaft for the heck of it and now it drives and handles the way I think it should. I was getting a lot of pull and not one way specifically. I always had to be ready for it to go wherever it felt like and I was just along to counter steer. And, it tended to get a small amount of bump steer. It’s all gone now. If anybody has any idea or even a guess on why the front driveshaft would be creating these issues, I’d greatly appreciate your thought. Btw, the universals aren’t bad. I checked them prior to removing the shaft and inspected them even closer after the shaft was removed. The jeep does have a 3.5” lift on 33’s. It was to the alignment shop after the suspension install. Pinion angles have been checked by the shop , myself, and a friend. Nothing made as noticeable a difference in the handling as removing the shaft did. As I said, any thoughts will be appreciated. Thx
