Alignment issue

[outlawjoe1969]

So I installed Rustys 4.5" lift on my 00 with 33x12.5x15 tires with adjustable upper & lower control arms, I had it aligned but whille driving on the street when I hit bumps it goes to the right. Did the garage that aligned it not do it right? Or is this common or something else?

its called bump steer. did you get a new track bar?

How did you center the axle and the steering wheel?

 

[outlawjoe1969]

Yes new track bar. I just installed the lift, the shop made the final adjustments. Wouldnt bump steer happen with big bumps Im talking about just minor bumps in the road.

bump steer can happen over any size bump. did you get a print out with your alignment? go tighten the shit out of your track bar at both and ends, including the frame (uni body) mount.
