Today was a busy day driving all over, picking up parts, getting tires mounted, etc. Decided to go white out which was a toss up for me, I think it’ll look good with the white Jeep, or I’ll live with regret/figure out a way to de-white it. (And Thetacorocker’s white out coppers look awesome!)
From 4 wheel parts I ordered the Currie Currectlync steering system they were able to price match and get it in stock next day at their Oakland store, it seemed like a common solution to DW was replacing the tie rod after MML and I didn’t want this problem lingering. A lot of the bushings on the old tie rod and drag link didn’t look great (also I know doesn’t cause DW but the steering stabilizer was comically done for, you could compress it with one finger)
So installed the currectlync, did an alignment toe in (did run into a little issue because the clasp for the tie rod was getting in the way with the drag link from perfect alignment, but was able to get it close where this wasn’t an issue, put on the new tires. Drove for about 20 minutes the same route as before where we had DW twice with the steering stabilizer out, no DW. So pretty happy fairly certain it’s fixed and with the new beefy OME HD steering stabilizer which takes 2 hands to compress I am hoping for smooth sailing.
Forgot to take any underpicks tonight but the front end is looking all shiny. Hopefully installing quick disconnects and headlights this weekend as well as cleaning her up before a work trip to Tahoe next week.
