I've got a 94 XJ country that i just put an RC 3 inch lift in. I test drove it after the lift, and had to do a 1 inch t-case drop. I just finished putting in the drop and replaced the lower steering shaft and know i'm getting a strange binding noise coming from the front driver's side wheel. It's a strange sound to describe but it sounds like something i hitting, and it seems to be related to wheel speed. I checked the ball joints and all the steering connections and cant find anything loose. Left turns make it worse, braking makes it better. I havent gotten an alignment yet, could that be the cause?

i seem to have the exact same problem, it does it mostly when i accelerate. if i figure out the problem il let you know

update:
Did a quick eyeball aligment in my driveway and it helped it quite a bit, it's still there but not nearly as bad, gunna go get a pro alignment as soon as i can, hopefully that'll take care of it. Worth a try if your having the same problems

Did you do anything with the tracbar? when i did my 3" RC lift the trac bar was not address so I had to force the stock one back in to place. I had horrible binding noises coming when I turned until I got a adjustable tracbar. Fixed it right up

I haven't worried about the trackbar since it was my understanding that at 3 inches, you could still make do with the stock bar. I'll give that a try if the alignment doesn't fix it.

You should address the tracbar when you lift more than 2" from what I was informed after the fact. Also your axle probably isnt centered anymore cause of the lift. Might want to search on it cause I could be wrong, but that was definetly the problem with mine

Thanks I'll look into that
