I have a 96 Cherokee Classic and it has a 4.5" RE superflex kit with full packs. It seems to ride so rough. I dont know if maybe i need new shocks or what but you can feel every single bump. I think i need a steering stabilizer as well because its hard to keep it straight because it kinda sways back and forth, i have to move the steering wheel constantly to keep it straight. I also do not have sway bars on it. I think im going to order the RC disconnects from ebay for $58 bucks. But i really need to know what is making it ride so rough and why its not steering straight.


I broke the passenger lower control arm bracket right in half. Could this be from the rough ride? it happened when i hit the brakes

 

can anyone help?

 

sway bar links will help, also did you get a front track bar with the kit?

 

well, there's something wrong. cause the RE superflex kit rides better than stock, so you have a problem somewhere.

i'd replace that control arm mount with an aftermarket one. something way stronger.

check all your bushings (shock, track bar, sway bar/end links, control arm, etc. etc...)

 

yes it came with a track bar. yea i ordered a control arm bracket from rubicon express, should be here tuesday. can i get a complete bushing kit somewhere?

 

daystar and energy suspension make full poly bushing kits. no sway bar in the front can also make it squirrelly you may also want to get an alignment done.

 

ok i ordered the sway bar links from RC. i think i will check into a steering stabilizer and bushings

 

so will new bushings make it not so rough? lift is only one year old

 

any other causes that would make it a rough ride other than the bushings?

 

when you say "rough". just so we're clear. does it shake or anything like that. "chasing" the steering sounds like somethng is worn out or loose. wheel bearing or tie rod. the stabilizer is a shock on the steering and is only there to prevent sudden steering movment like when you're off road and hit a rock.

 

its like for example "i turned off of a paved road onto a dirt road and i can feel every bump, kinda like its riding stiff or something. it doesnt shake. it just feels stiff or something. the lift was put on the summer of '09 by PO.

 

anyone? i just picked up a complete suspension bushing kit from Prothane for $87 shipped. What else would cause this stiffness?

 

ttt

 

ANYTHING else that would cause it to ride so stiff?
