Ok I kno it’s been a few but I figured I’d update my situation with my tj. After a bunch of tests and goin over and over my Jeep I finally was fed up and brought it to a Jeep 4x4 shop 2 hrs away. They did all the same tests and agreed my jeepvwasvin great mechanical shape. The owner called me and said he’s like to change my ball joints… he said even tho they are new they seem to get tight with the Jeep on its own weight. So I said sure go for it. And bammmmm
my Jeep is absolutely perfect. 4 inch lift on 35s and I’m loving this thing. I struggled all summer dialing it in. Shop after shop for alignments and I had 3 shops totally take me for a ride on the alignments. One shop didn’t even give me a printout of the alignment and I asked them why and they said we don’t print out our specs. So 399 bucks later I’m driving home and it was actually worse. There are a lot of shops in Massachusetts and nh that are so clueless with what they are doing and are ripping people off. Plain and simple. I even went to bandit off-road in Manchester and they took me for a huge expensive ride with very bad results. They even put in an old front bushing and ground it down and just set it in my front end and bolted it in. But I ended up goin to Steve’s jeep country in epsom nh and they nailed it
! Awesome place with honest service. So now I’m very happy and my Jeep is a 80 mph highway driver with one finger and I can get to my favorite off road places too. Thanks for all the input u guys have me this past summer. It all helped. Thanks
