98 sport, 4wd stock height
I recently developed a death wobble, and subsequently fixed it by replacing the drag link (from Pittman arm to passenger knuckle). I also replaced the steering damper since it was damaged.
After replacing the worn components, I aligned it in the driveway, test drive confirmed the proper toe setting. Everything is good and straight, and I've even driven it about 5k miles since then with no tire wear.
Ever since, I've had some bad bump steer. The whole front end darts to one side when I hit a dip in the road.
-Everything is tight underneath
-Shocks are 2 years old
-Control arms and bushings are also 2 years old
-polyurethane sway bar bushings (also 2 years old)
-track bar is tight, no play
I have been reading that bump steer is common after lifting a vehicle due to drag link and track bars not being parallel. Again, my Jeep is at stock height. This is quite confusing.
