this one is for Kirk
« on: October 26, 2010, 12:14:48 AM »
so i just bought one of those inserts from goferit.com and now i'm thinkin, how do i do this. i talked to the guy that makes them, and he said that i can only use it on the driver side unless i use i a right hand drive CJ drag link. I am so lost. i am trying to get rid of this death wobble problem and it seems to be getting worse and worse.         Um, Help ???

He told me the same thing but I have a YJ!
I used three of the inserts, one on each knuckle and one on the pass side tie rod where the drag link connects.
I not sure about the TJ but the pass side tie rod is a long one piece tie rod that goes from the pass side all the way over to the drivers side tie rod end. it has two holes (connection points) the first is for the drag link and the second is for the stabalizer, which I no longer use or need.

As for the DW itself, there are so many things that can cause it, especially on a TJ, but you can be sure that it is a loose or worn out part some where! Roger posted a list of know problem areas that read like a giants laundry list in one of the posts, it is some good reading!

I know there is a clearance issue on the passenger side with a TJ/XJ but I don't know the specifics.  Try a search on Jeep Forum, that where I found out about them.

Going OTK with the Goferit kit on a TJ or XJ requires relocation of the sway bar brackets on the axle. There are several companies that also make new brackets that you can buy that will get them out of the way, but it will require cutting off of your current brackets and welding on new ones.
