Let me be the tenth person to tell you that a stabilizer will not help with the wander.
You sound like you know your rig pretty well, what is the caster currently?
6.5" on short arms, ouch. I remember doing that for a while.
Good Luck-
More rake (caster) gives more stability.
MY XJ WILL NEVER SEE DROP BRACKETS, EVER!! Do u understand me??
Untill i have the loot for longarms, shes a "mall crawler"!!
Rockkrawler has a 3 link & 4 link high clearance longarm kit for the XJ!!
LAST,, can u guys DROP the alignment replies PLEASE?? IT WILL BE DONE!!
Are you saying more rake will help reduce wander?
If so, can anyone explain why? Just curious...
I get quite a bit of wander, but I run 35 bias tires and I am wondering if I can cut down on the wander.
Thanks.
I think everyone needs to understand this person isn't looking to fix the problem, just mask it.
everyone is trying to help this guy to fix the problem. he doesn't want to fix it, just cover it up. If they wanted to solve this problem they would take some of the advice given, as opposed to blasting those for giving it.
a SS will band aid it, it'll mask the problem until they are smart enough to actually fix it, until then lets get some pics so everyone knows what to look out for on the road in his area.
ignorance is bliss.
OK, so the subject is DE-modding my XJ for better ONroad manners!!
Heres a quick parts/& or stats list of my XJ so u guys can get a BETTER picture of the question....
-- 95 XJ 4dr sport 4.0L H.O. auto,, 231 worked w/A SYE.
-- 6.5 lift, BRAND NEW 35" radial baja claws replacing the bias claws.
-- 4.88's, ford 8.8 loaded, HPd30 loaded.
-- Armored up, tomwoods D-shafts F & R,, yadda yadda, etc etc!!
-- She's a weekend warrior on roids basically!!
Question is,, Would ADDing a Steering Stablizer OR 2 onto my 1-ton JCR steering, ((under the knuc style)),, help her wander WAY less and be more responsive ON THE PAVEMENT??
Obviously im having steering issues, ESPECIALLY over 45mph!! NOTHING ELSE in the front end is loose or worn down & most parts are brand new & nothin is stock anyways!! BUT YES I CHECKED IT ALL!!
SO,, would adding a Steering St (OR 2) onto my 1-ton steer,, would it help mask the issues & make her safer at highway speeds???? :dunno:
adding drop brackets is just plain stupid & a waste of time!! Been there, done that & after the 1st time i wheeled it with them on,, they came right off!!
JUST NEEDS A BANDAID TEMPORARILY & i've been asking ONLY ONE QUESTION,,,,, ((Will a stablizer help reduce any slop or even some slop))
X2,this CAB doesnt want to hear anything,not sure why he even posted!I think everyone needs to understand this person isn't looking to fix the problem, just mask it.

the statement in bold doesn't make much sense (current thread not withstanding) drop brackets are meant to put control arms into near stock angles, thus NOT being a complete waste of time. as for your ability to flex, not sure how drop brackets hindered you so poorly you needed to toss them so quickly.
anyway, you've been given your answer, it will band-aid the problem.
but considering the time and money it will cost to band-aid the problem, why would you not just remove the spacers on the coils, and blocks/shackles/AAL you have to drop the rear down, when your ready to go back offroad add the 1-2" of lift you've lost and fix this steering problem properly.
either way, like you've stated so often, your not looking to fix the problem. slap your SS on there and continue having the problem... just notice it a little less. no reason to start at this point right?

Sterring stabilizers only mask shimmy, and wheel movement as you pass over varied terrain. I have a brand new ome sterring stablizer, and on deer valley, I destroyed the bushing and took it off. I barely noticed it, and drove like that for 3 weeks, no prob. A properly tuned suspension and steering set up doesn't require one.
And I'll say it too. GET LONG ARMS! It's not all about flex. You are asking a question about how to improve road manners, drop brackets will help, but long arms will REALLY help. (and I don't know what you did that caused the drop brackets to come off??) The angle of your short arms is putting all the stress upward into the body, instead of allowing them to swing upward. I've notcied a crappy ride with short arms, and I have a well tuned 4 inch RE lift.
Please don't ask for advice and then get mad at people when they give it.![]()
how the hell did you find this out? Did you try to run over a curb at the mall or something?1) I know what the hell drop brackets are and there job. Reason for not using them,, they get hung up on the rocks often...
