plus with it being chrome is would probably help the front end get better traction???

Davidson my fix was the steering arm needed a new TRE on the pitman arm..
But AFAIK... I have 250k on my 89 on virtually everything except track bar, the tre I just mentioned, lCA's both front and rear u joints on my rear drive line and rear brakes... I just picked up a Dana 44 off an 87 xj a few weeks ago and she's getting a 100% new brake setup, pricy but worth it
I look at my JEEP as Just Enough Essential Parts

Hmm... Idk when mine had it I started with front shocks( they were blown out so they bounced after potholes), added a new steering stabilizer which helped a tiny bit then I went to my track bar, I went with an IRO double sheer, I had to drill out my axle side hole to fit the new bolt, while I was down I swapped the steering tre... Long story short it disappeared... I'm thinkin maybe your axle side mount isn't a snug fit and it's causing the dw. But good luck in fixing it!

with all the new parts hes thrown at it... things better be tight. assuming he did recheck it all after 50 miles or so. :anon:
i think adding an inverted T setup trying to fix a problem was a bad choice though. the setup is known for having a dead spot that you wont be able to cure.

The dead spot isn't what I'm worried about. Its the wobble

I say get your tires balanced and do your alignment and see if that helps if everything else is fixed alignment and balance is the next option

You get it back yet?
What was the problem? The only thing I would think it could be is a alignment

Was it some kind of special bushing? Did you contact RC to see if there was anywhere else to get them? Kind of sucks to have 'disposable' control arms.

get ahold of GRIMUS99XJ, he's an RC rep and a hell of a good guy. If anything can be done he can get it done.
go to his profile to get his phone number.
not sayin he can do it, but the worst he can say is no.

at least give them a chance to do something about their products before running off and buying something. their willingness to help (which doesnt directly translate into free stuff) is usually how i decide whether to be a repeat customer or not.

Well.....hopefully I can get something figured out because as of now I'm not making it to wf

Nope haven't heard anything from him and found out i have bad wheels? So unless I can find some wheel to get me to wf I dont see myself going. Which sucks because I've already registered for 2 for wf. I have 5 wheels waiting at wf but unless I can find a way there or some others I don't see how the jeep will make it.
