2006 TJ.. has a skyjacker 4 inch lift.
Mastercraft 35x12.5x17 tires in nearly new cond with no visible wear.
6cyl, 5speed
So finally got around to replacing the drop pitman arm to try to correct the bad bump steer on my new to me 06 TJ ,it worked! Bumpsteer is gone.
Also set toe..it was toed in 3/4 "!
When I test drove it I noticed the ride was horrible..super harsh and extrememly jarring! I checked air pressure and found the p o had it at 42 psi, after checking forums on here I set the 35x12.5x17's at 26 and the ride improved unbelievably!
Had not put any miles on it since I purchased so I have been driving it last few days to shake it down and check for other issues.
It has a slight pull to the left on good flat roads, pulls left on braking ,going to do a complete front end inspection, pull tires rotate front to back and see if that helps correct pull on flat road.
Also now hear brakes grinding
Will pull drums and check shoes and pads.
The ride on our paved crappy backroads tosses us around in the jeep wondering if it could be the skyjacker shocks I keep hearing people complaining about?
If so can I switch out to a better shock but keep the rest of the components to try to smooth the ride out a bit.
Also at highway speed I feel a super slight shake in the wheel over bumps...barely noticable.
Any advice/ input would be greatly appreciated.
