That said, I don't see why a stablizer would solve the problem. I can see Chrysler ****ing up a lot of things, but I can't see them spending money on parts that didn't add performance value. That line of thought is PRECISELY why I asked. I put one on my old truck that has a knuckle to knuckle tie rod (different orientation draglink though) and it made a world of difference at highway speed. If the smart guys over at Chrysler thought they didn't really need to be there would they have spent $15 million bucks or so putting them on? ![]() Well, the WJ, the made 1.5 million of them. They went on each and every WJ that went down the line, as well as ZJ, TJ, XJ and MJ models. Let's say they cost Chryco just $10 apiece to put them on a Jeep. It all points to insufficient caster, but due to the excellent self centering, I keep looking for something else. Constant need for small corrections all the time, and it always wants to pull down the road crown, regardless if the crown is on the left or right. Perhaps I'm wrong? In a perfectly setup cross over, is a stabilizer necessary to keep the Jeep tracking straight?īy wander, I mean the steering feels a tad sloshy at high speed (but everything is perfectly tight) and I find it a bit of a chore to just drive down the road straight. I didn't bother with a steering stabilizer, as my thoughts are that they're really only there to mask a problem. I've tried from 3 all the way to 6, and 6 is where it self centres well. My pinion has lots of room to go up or down a few degrees, so adding more caster isn't an issue, but I figure 6 degrees should be sufficient. The only thing I can come up with is either I need more caster, or a steering stabilizer. ![]() Toe is correct at 1/8" in (and I've tried toeing further in as well as out), camber is good, and caster is about 6 degrees. The rear steer however, is NOT the cause of my wandering steering and wondering if anyone's got any suggestions. I've definitely got some rear steer going on due to bad leaf angle, but I'll be addressing that next week (was going to throw some 63" chevy leafs in today, but everything's closed for the long weekend ). 98 XJ, WJ kuckles, 1 tonne crossover, 35x12.5, etc.
