new parts installed now problems

Find a parking lot with a fairly high curb and drive at it about 25-35mph at an angle that will cause the passenger side tire hit first. That should bend something far enough to make the passenger side tire pull to the right enough to balance out the other tire. If that doesn't work, I'm all out of options.

Note to everyone but Andrew: Please, for the love of god don't anyone actually try this. I've made some jokes on here before about stuff like this that people took seriously.

Note to Andrew: Go ahead and let her rip, buddy. Oh and I want to see the pics too. If not yours, then the pics the state trooper and insurance company take will be just fine.

yeah mines doing the same thing
i think it has to do with the brakes because when i apply them it pulls even harder to the drives side than if i just let it drift

if you figure it out let me know so i can do the same

and lets see some pics of the stuff installed

and andrew i can swing by your new place tonite after im done at school and drop off that new to you alt. from bbd

SOMETIMES mine feels like its pulling....

my steering sometimes feel like it's pulling slightly to the right, sometimes to the left. then I realized that I'm driving in vehicle shaped like two boxes. wind blows this thing everywhere

that said... my brakes stick occasionally, that might do it. on the January RC trip, my front passenger caliper wasn't releasing... talk about pulling to the right! didn't realize it until we got to the Exxon and smelled the brakes.

#1 swap tires front to rear

#2 Check for slop in the steering box(I am not familiar enough with the new boxes but the old ones commonly were shot by 100k)

#3 Replace the TRE's (at the least ) and the ball joints...... If they arent' toast they probably are close to it.

sorry for jumping on the bandwagon - but i've had the same issue with mine for almost a year now. the only difference is that mine pulls to the right.

i've rotated/balanced my tires numerous times - no change.
aligned three times myself, once at a shop to verify the caster angles - no change.
all brand new TRE's with the new currie setup - no change.
measured the trackbar plenty of times and have the axle centered - no change.
measured the rear arms and the axle is centered as well - no change.
measured from front driver's hub to rear passenger's hub...and opposite as well making an X measurement to verify that the wheelbase isn't an issue - no change.
checked to ensure that all four of my brakes spin freely when not applied - no change.

there sometimes feels as if there is slop in the steering box...but i know that TJ's are notorious for having that "dead spot" when changing a direction. i think that is due to the slight shift left or right in your suspension when you induce the turn - the design of the steering sort of negates the input when your jeep starts leaning. i could be way off on that one but i can sort of picture it in my head. so i don't know if the dead spot i'm feeling is just the "TJ" factor or if my steering box is unhappy. i only have 39k or so on my jeep...but had some serious death wobble issues along the way that may or may not have caused an issue with the box. oh, when the jeep pulls slightly to the side, if i allow it to pull it won't continue to increase the turn (involuntarily crank the steering wheel) but will only turn an inch or two and slowly swerve to the right.

again, sorry for hijacking the thread, andrew. hopefully someone can shed light on our problems and we can both fix our jeeps.
