question about steering system in the zj

<< < (2/2)

Mr Rock:
X3 on the loose suspension parts, I wheel hard and the DW always ends up finding me, but once I go thought everything I can always find the bad parts and once replaced it drives great!

PS, a steering stabilizer is not a cure for DW, it only masks it! I do not have a stabilizer, but after a hard day of wheeling I could not go any faster than 35 - 40 MPH without getting DW. we stopped and took off a stabilizer from a trailered rig and bolted it on and it solved the DW good enought for me to go over 60MPH. when I got home I found a bad ball joint and a failiing unit bearing!

zjchef25:
check all your bushing, i mean control arms to steering linkage to steering stabilizer bushings, check everything im up at 5.5 and i have no issues right now. if your having an issue, look beyond the obvious.

kirksjeep:
Bob- nice trouble shooting write up!

CnoteTJ:
DW is exactly why I don't run steering stabilizers on my rigs!  They hide mechanical issues and are one more thing to rip off on the trails!!!
