I have the 3.5" RE lift on my 2001 XJ. Recently installed a HPD30 with 4.10 from a 1986 XJ. Also installed a tie rod from a 1998 ZJ V8. Finally, did new tie rod ends when I put it all togheter.
Now, I have some bump steer. Read on that junkyard thead about the factory pitman arm from the ZJ being an inch lower. Also read on a different thread in the last week about bumpsteer and what causes it.
With 3.5" if I got the ZJ pitman arm from the PAP, and brought the geometry back closer to stock will it make a noticible difference, or will my best bet be to just live with it until I can pony up the funds to do an aftermarket tie rod that connects directly to the 2 knuckles? I'm guessing a used pitman arm at the PAP will run about $10-15 at the most.
Thoughts?
