If you wheel you learn something new everyday. The front alignment on the TJ has been whack for a month or so. No DW's but damn unstable at speed. After replacing all the bushings which were badly worn I thought that might nail it but noooo...
Finally found a shop in my neighborhood that really knows Jeeps. This guy threw an offset balljoint in the left side of the axle and BAM! When I installed ORO steering I went to BB and banged it up pretty good. The added strength in the steering apparently put a lot more stress on other parts of the suspension. Or I just went brain dead and took some bad lines that day, take your pick. Gotta blame it on something.
The ball joints are about $90.00 bills a peice, but man did it tweak the alignment right back to dead on. Until I bend it on something else...
I've got the P/N of the ball joint at my shop if anyone wants it for reference.
