Moving the track bar bracket above the axle like we were saying. That is the thing about crossover - it is tough to match the reduced angle with the drag link.
As it sits, putting a pitman with less drop would make the angles closer, but I do not know how much it is off.

Dear powers that be,
Forcing an ad upon me before allowing me to view the page I want to get to, and having Skynet "posts" with ads in them in no way encourage me to look at the product or change my opinion on them in a positive way. This is partly due to me not wanting to look at ads on the forum, and also partly due to these ads having nothing to do with my interests. i.e. the new Lexus crossover.
The end.
EDIT: 4x4 related ads - totally logical and welcome.

A head on picture knuckle to knuckle might help, hard to judge angles without seeing everything. Yes, I'm guilty of jumping right on the paint idea, cant do it without a pic of the entire front end.

Angles are steep, but no real issue with eachother's angles or length...
But still flip that bar around. As long as it is tight, it should not necessarily be the issue, but still a good idea.

Like I was saying, there are soooo many things that can contribute. Worn control arm bushings, ball joints, tie rod ends, tie rod bushings, drag link ends, play in the steering box, play in the box mounting, lack of reinforcement around the box, out of balance tires, play in the super long TB bracket....often times a small issue with several things adds up to DW, so fixing a single things does not necessarily make a night and day change.
Total crap shoot.
