finally got my steering-pull issue ironed out. it's truly amazing what half inch on a track bar can do.....

In all seriousness the front axle was shifted over probably a good inch to the driver's side causing it to pull left pretty hard.. I searched a bunch of threads on "steering pull" and such. The common answers were:

bad alignment(i guess this kinda applies)
sticky/seizing brakes
collapsed brake lines
air in brake lines
improper MC/proportioning valve install or bleed
tire pressure
bad tires
bent axle
bad ball joints or bushings
uneven adjustable arm lengths
incorrect steering geometry
bad TREs
****ty steering in general
thrust steer from misaligned rear axle
and finally offset front axle.

Needless to say, it's my fault for checking one of the easiest things last. I had "eye ball" centered the axle before but the truth came out when i started measuring things.

moral of the story is make sure your front axle is centered

 

i got a white xj 4.5 on 31s. in east mesa signal butte and elliot. only right hand drive i know of in az. im down for an xj run when ever

 

Nice, RHD! It would be crazy to drive a RHD, but to wheel one! Awesome.

 

alright thank you.

 

Wow, how different is it to drive a rhd?

 

FYI there is a WJ sitting in the premeir lot at the picknpull chandler. It's waiting to have the knuckles stripped for your XJ!

 

Very cool, there is a blue right hand drive in laveen but it's stock.

 

Speaking of junk yards, does anyone know of a 4x4 only yard?

 

There's No jy by me

 

Have you tried AMC Salvage 4x4 in Glendale? That specialize in jeeps and have quite a few Cherokee's there. You would be hard pressed to find dana 44 there though. Good people.

 

Theres a truck and van yard in mesa that had quite a few XJs when we went, cant remember where it was tho.

 

Useless if you can't remember amber :P

 

I know just thought id share

 

how much is it to do a bastard pack lift?

 

I have a bastard pack set of leaf springs for the rear they have the bolt broken off on the inside of them but still good for the individual leafs
