new parts installed now problems

    both track bars are only 2 months old
    well the rear one is alittle older
    had the jp aligned last week
    it was okay alittle better but not perfert
    i have swapeed the tires around 4-5 times now
    and have checked the air pressure many times with several different gauges


    i thought it was the control arms
    so i swapped them out and put a set of stock ones one
    (im only running a 3.5 lift)
    that didnt help either

    so i dropeed the heep off tonight for the alignment tom


    of that doesnt work im gonna get a set of front hub assemblies
    and a new distrbution block for the brakes


    more freakin money


    cheapest i could find the hub units were


    link here

    not a vibration issue


    torque steer and a constant pull to the driver side
    are the two issuse im dealing with



    the tech at the dealer said that the problem is likely being caused by
    comething _giving_ in the rear
    and is causing the axle to tweak when under power or off to apply
    the brakes


    he could not find anything loose or any thing that was _giving_


    neither could i
    everything is torque to spec and is tight


    and thoughts ?

    My questions was that I thought you said earlier in the thread that your problem went away will smaller tires, is that true or not? If so I would think it is something with your tires.


    It is happening on acceleration I wonder if your rear upper and lower control arms need to be adjusted.


    If it is happening on braking I would think maybe the brake proportioning valve is bad or you have air in one of your rear lines so one side is getting more pressure than the offer.


    Do you have rear drums? Their are supposed to be auto adjusting if you do but they don't always work to well and if you don't pull your parking brake, I don't think they adjust much at all. Pull the rear tires and adjust the brakes so the drums just barely brush the pad on each side when you spin the drum.

    yes with the smaller tires on it was unnoticable


    i have four wheel disc and have bleed them repeatedly
    no real adjustments to make



    even swapped the hard lines on the brake
    distrubution block thinking it was bad and that maybe it would pull to the oppisite direction
    that didnt help any


    i have fixec lowers and adj rear uppers that are set to stock legnth


    so basicall the jeep will torque steer to the d/s when u hit the gas and let out of the cluth light at a stop sign
    and under hard braking will pull to the d/s

    Have you had your wheels and tires rebalanced in the process of doing all these other mods and fixes?


    I was told by Delaware Tire Center that even mild tire changes from stock tire size and tread can have negative effect and depending on a variety of circumstances can cause wandering and pulling. Deeps tread patterns can do that if you are running some variety of mud terrain.


    I have to believe your problem stems from your wheels and tires if it isn't noticeable when you change them.


    What about wallowed control arm or track bar busings that could be allowing the axle to shift slightly on hard acceleration and braking but settle straight at cruising speeds?

    no havent had the rim and tires rebalanced yet
    prob gonna do that next week


    the control arms maybe
    loke i said tho
    i took the aftermarket ones off and installed the stock ones
    same effect


    the track bar and mount looked perfect when i installed it


    ill find a tire shop other than the place i bought them
    from to rebalanc them
