Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
So Jeep woes, looking for advice where to start:
going straight down a fairly pot-hole/crack filled road the Jeep drove smooth up to about 47 or 48mph (per my GPS) and then from 48-53 it had reasonably bad wobble in the steering, Jeep was easily controllable but the vibe/wobble was definitely noticeable. Got it up to 55 and it seemed like it was getting better as speed increased but I caught up to the car in front of me at that point so I couldn't really check beyond there.
Got onto a 2nd long straight which was had a much smoother road surface. Accelerated smooth up to 60mph while going around a very slight left hand turn, smooth as silk, no vibes at all. Got to the straight after the corner and it still felt good. Started decelerating around a right hand turn and as I got down into the 53-55mph range while turning right I got the wobble back worse than before (still controllable so I'm not sure I'd call it death wobble, but there was definitely something going on). I'm not sure if it didn't wobble while accelerating because I was aggressively on the throttle or because I was turning left (likewise I'm not sure if it was bad while decelerating because I was turning right or because of deceleration). I'm wondering if I took up all the slop while turning left thus no wobble and made more slop while turning right thus more wobble? idk?
Any ideas where I should start looking?
My plans are to add another 8-16 grams of BBs per tire to see if that helps along with pulling my steering and checking the knuckles/pitman arm for wallowing this weekend.
I'm also getting a very slight click as soon as I start turning in either direction but I think that's the bolt in the trackbar that's sliding < 0.5mm in the hole (hole is ever so slightly too large). I will probably fill in and re-drill that hole this weekend as well but it's not really a big deal; my old trackbar relocation bracket had a lot more play to it than this does.
