Ok, so I have a 99 sport 4.0
RE 3.5 full leaf lift
After alignment steering wanders and pops when turning.
Things in front end I have changed-rustys adj track bar, steering stabilizer, both hub assemblies, pass side tre, and both ds ball joints

Also driveline vibes
I do have a t-case drop and 2* shims, angles are close but not perfect
Maybe get ds balanced?

 

Wandering is the caster needing adjustment. http://go.jeep-xj.info/ Pop is most likely the trackbar, make sure it is tight at the axle. Bolt hole may be wallowed out, ovaled out. Check the U-joints in the axel. Why did you change only 1 TRE, if 1 is bad they are all usually bad. Steering box may be going out.
Drive line may need more shim or less, don't say if you are high or low. Could be you need a SYE.

 

thanks
took the tre off while doing the lift to get the springs in didn't notice it being bad so put it back
the vibes i can deal with its just this front end is makin me angry tired of throwin money at it to have something else come up
it must be that damn jeep thing right, lol

 

Im not a steering expert...


97+ models are known for vibes after lifts, they are also known for being a Beotch to figure out..

a SYE may be required if you cannot get it done with shims and the Tcase drop. BTW, Tcase drops are generally considered a "temporary" fix, or "Band-aide".

I doubt you would need to get your driveshaft balanced, they are from the factory.

 

this might sound stupid, but are your ball joints and tre greased? i have a 99 classic with 4.5" lift, angle shims on the rear end leafs and a 1" tc drop and it rides like a cadillac. it rode like a hummve before i put the tc drop on...

 

i knew about the band-aid thing but broke so no sye yet
the ds balance was a thought from an old hot rod guy i know

 

here's what i would go through. pitman arm, idler arm, ball joints, DRAGLINK, steering box. i would check everything separately.

 

everything got greased when i hed the alignment and ball joints done

 

what shims did you run?

 

ok for the drive line issue after some searching I think I'm going to order a hack-n-tap from RE
what cv ds should i look for ie year, model, front or rear?

 

my wheel base is off
just measured it and its .5 inches short on drivers side
I have no idea how to fix stuff like this
was looking into camber and found this out
seems if I adjust one thing something else gets screwed up

 

That may be an issue, as well as the caster as stated earlier. Here's how to check/fix your caster. http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm
