Pitman Arm
Hey everyone, I drive a 2000 jeep cherokee XJ and I have recently lifted it and put bigger tires on it and i have a question about pitman arms. I only jacked it up 3 inches but im still getting bump steer, and she handles terribly on the highway, should i get a new pitman arm? But i see everyone talks about not worrying about it since its only a 3" lift.... Where could i find one for a 3" lift? All i can find is for 3.5" and higher? Any ideas.... would appretiate it.

Do a search and you will find many threads about bump steer. There are many things that could cause it

A ZJ pitman arm is a little longer (drop) than an XJ pitman arm, a direct swap that may cure your problem.
