As you can see only one shock is installed and yes it is for dual. It was a temporary fix to get back out on the trails until I figure out another option I want to go with. I had a diff cover mount but was having some clearance issues as it wasn’t high enough on the diff cover.That's for a dual stabilizer mount...
Why was it needed? A proper setup steering won’t benefit much from a stabilizer. If you notice an issue with out it then you do In fact have bump steer. From the pictures I would guess you have some bumpsteer.
It is a hodgepodge of marketing. They sold items under the misinformation they make things better. In fact they make things much worse.
Well put and not exaggerated in the least. Really. It's nearly impossible to beat the TJ's steering geometry with a good solid upgrade like RockJock's (aka Currie) CurrectLink Heavy Duty Steering Kit. It's what I run and most hardcore offroading TJ owners run.
All jeep TJ’s came stock with a steering stabilizer on it. Is your steering on your Jeep so incredible you took yours off? I agree with a great setup you don’t have to have one on there. And I drove my Jeep 2 hours home without one from the trail. Ya it felt different but I like it on there and do notice a better ride with one on the without. We all have different setups here. There’s always a better setup someone has. This is what I got and what I am working with on my Jeep now I and it’s been great. I will consider maybe changing it one day to a more beefier factory setup like the Currie or something but I just was having some clearance issues with my pitman arm. Thanks for everyone’s input I really appreciate all the great advice I will recheck everything when the PA is on and check my angles to everyone’s recommendations on where to do it.
Alright, then perhaps you can share with the class exactly what the below picture represents and if you say anything other than severe bump steer, then you do not know what bump steer actually is.
Doesn't matter what you were told, if it is wrong, who told you don't make it right.
Thank for the nice drawing. Again I will recheck my angles when I install the PA I was just going by RE direction and I still was having issues so I came here for the advice not how my whole setup is shit and how I need to change this or go with that or the discouragement. I just wanted some advice on what steps I should do to correct the issue I am having on the current setup I have with the clearance issue of my PA and what I am working with. I am not wanting to get into a bump steer argument or debate or the causes of it or if you think I have it or not. I will take my angles from the corrects points which I was always under the same impression as you to take them from as well. I just had clearance issues and needed to know how I could fix it. And I posted the wrong spot to take the angles from, I get it.
Look again. Replacing the dropped Pitman arm will raise that end of the drag link placing it closer to parallel with the track bar.
It looks like it will solve the interference issue if that is what you are talking about.
I appreciate that and the help but damn, it sure does sometimes seem like if you don’t have a stock Jeep or run all the certain things people want you to run on your Jeep you get nowhere on here. But it can be such a great resource sometimes. It’s always bad mouthing the brand you went with or how wrong your setup is and how you should have, would have, or could have done it better. What’s the point of even trying to ask for help with the issues on your setup here if your always going to get led down a hole that’s only going toward what certain people want you to go with or how IT SHOULD BE DONE or Nothing else. Blaine definitely knows his stuff and his advice is much appreciated and I want to hear more of it now and in the future. Like I said though going with something like the Currie would be bad ass and I know would help but I don’t have that luxury right this moment and I’m working with what I got for now. But until then…lol I am swapping the PA this afternoon and see where that takes me and will take my angle measurements. If it’s really that far off and not drivable I will take Everyone’s advice on a better setup to go with and ditch the teraflex high steer completely and save for what you guys recommended.
Since we're only focusing on this particular problem of the overall steering setup and nothing else, then I suppose it will.
Well…..look again. He already has the dropped Pitman arm. He is putting the stock Pitman arm back on. That will raise that end of the drag link.
shit, the weird angle of that one he has was confusing my eyes...
