horrible wobble

[VAhasnoWAVES]

you drill it out for a bolt, and use a heim with a high misalignment spacer.

Ahh I got you.

Makes sense.

Which I found out today that heim is bad. has play in it. So going to ordered a new one and while im at it going to replace the bushings on other end too. Where could i get a double shesr bracket from? I'll order one of those too

most of your options are here...

find a bracket with a 2" inside mounting width, or use a ruff stuff 2 5/8" misalignment spacer to fill a bigger space, since most are made for a 2.5" johny joint. washers work too. RE is a perfect fit. could always make your own.

ruff stuff is the authority on heims.

Thanks a lot. Been a lot of help. I'll be calling tomorrow to order some new parts. Gonna get a price for the1660. Might just get it depending the difference in that and rebuilding the 1600

 

[VAhasnoWAVES]

i got a new heim and spacer from ruff stuff for under $20 shipped.

idk what the bushing will cost, but i doubt itd be much.

 

[davidson99XJ]

Which one do i need? I don't know what size heim and bushing. Or are all track bar bushings same size. I'm trying to get a lot done for WF

Tyler, you plan on coming to Columbus anytime soon? I can look at it.

 

[davidson99XJ]

Umm Aaron I wouldn't feel safe driving it that far. It shakes bad around 45. I'm bout out of ideas. Ready to just buy a whole new track bar. Was thinkin the JCR looked pretty good. And my bushings on my control arms wouldn't be bad already would they? I've only wheeled it once and they might have 5000 on them

 

[davidson99XJ]

I might be able to make it that way. I know for sure the heim is wore out. It's got a little play in it.

Still having problems or are you waiting for parts?

Idk if I mentioned this or not... Do you know how to check your castor angle?

In most cases I've found that having your castor off can hurt you seriously.

Since you have wheel spacers I'd also try to 'rotate' the wheels and spacers to eliminate that.

 

[davidson99XJ]

I'm waiting on some new parts. I got a new heim and 2 spacers. And a new RE ds track bar bracket. And 2 new tires because my front 2 are shot. Absolutely horrible. I'm thinking that part of it too. And I don't have spacers

 

[Lowrange2]

hmm, I could swore that I read you had spacers.

Anyways, I bet you'll have it fixed when you replace all that. Especially the tires.

 

[davidson99XJ]

When i bought the jeep it had spacers. But I took them off ASAP looked silly

 

[VAhasnoWAVES]

when i replaced my heim it was a little wiggly... but more significantly, both my frame and axle side mounts were loose. it rolled and popped, and you could definantly feel the axle shifting. i did not experience death wobble though. a lot of people have fixed their wobble with a new track bar... but unless your heim is completely shot, id suspect something else. regardless, a heim is cheap and easy. hope it works for ya.

 

[davidson99XJ]

Welp.....one ton steering, RE 1600 track bar, RE double shear drop bracket, new heim and spacers on trackbar, new ball joints, wheel bearings. Wtf why is it so bad?! I'm dropping it off at Sunfire Offroad tonight and letting them deal with it. I HAVE to have this heep done. It IS going to to WF

 

[Lowrange2]

Control arm bushings... castor... Hell! Idk. That stuff is irritating as hell.

Put a damn steering stabilizer bandaid on it!

 

[davidson99XJ]

I thought about it but don't just wamt a band aid I want it done right

 

[davidson99XJ]

Ok so still bad. I don't know what to do....anyone want to buy a jeep lol
