I fail to see how rotating the axle forward or backward would change the tire's path of travel when going strait. And yes I do realize that you were saying that it does make a difference. Try being more of an ass hole next time.

Edit: oh yea and....Fuck you!

tyler:

thnk of it like this, when the tires are rolling down the road, they're constantly 'using' that 'self-correction' that caster affects. the tires on a car are never going straight. so if the caster is off, a bump that causes the steering to deflect (even just a little) won't be 'self-corrected' and possibly initiate a mechanical resonance in the steering and suspension systems.

Cody is just plain bad karma. I take off down the road in a YJ today, and when I got back, I was looking for my buckle for being able to hang on for 8 seconds. I have no clue what it is, but Cody was the last one to drive it.
What'd ya do to my banged up YJ?

well???

I'm betting that the 10 degrees of caster had something to do with the wobble. did the steering stablizer mask the issue?

Well last night we started to replace the rod end that connects to the pitman arm but Cody got the wrong size rod end. So we ended up just cutting the hood down, taking off the passenger side finder and started to take off the driver side finder.

cause clearance for 40's is really important when you have an empty front housing and can't get above 30mph to get to the trail.

PS....

how are you mounting the steering stabalizer that it's affected by the drag link? I hope you're not running the stabalizer from the draglink to the frame- this would only make the problem worse or make no difference at all. it needs to be between the tierod and axle housing.

why would mounting it to the drag link make problems worse? stock location on the TJ is from the axle housing to the drag link
