my jeep swirves all over the road. i changed me sway bar bushings and that didnt fix it. i guess its my sway bar links but i was just wonderin if it had anything to do with the spacers i have on it

Skreed

Did you get an alignment?

mattj29

i honestly cant remember i just had tires put on it not too long ago but a front end guy put the bushings on but he didnt say anything about the front end needing an align. i think it sways way too much just to be an alingment but u never know until u try it

Skreed

What I should have asked is did you have this prob before the spacers? When you lift your caster and toe angles can change and cause this prob. I have the same issue right now.

o ok i bought the jeep with the spacers on already on it. i didnt know much about lifts and stuff back when i bought it i just saw jeep with big tires lol. the guy welded the spacers on it left the factory coil springs and cut the shock mounts off and welded them up higher and my shocks bottom out over every little bump. i love the jeep dont get me wrong i stare at it all the time haha but he screwed me on the price i boguht it for 1200 and i have got 3000 or better in it now just to keep it running

Your gonna need to post the height of your lift and what kind of stock parts you have replaced. There was no need to move the shock mounts thats what they make longer shocks for. You could also have trac bar or control arm issues depending on your amount of lift.

Post up all the spec of your jeep and pics if you can and someone will be able to help.

mattj29

the spacers are 3" and a quarter he cut the control arms and stuck some metal between them and welded them back together. so i pretty much want to get a whole new lift.

Skreed

Yeah honestly that sounds a little dangerous to me. You can pick up used kits that people are selling if your on a budget or make one yur self from ford 150 coils and a bastard pack in the rear made from s10 or dakota leafs. Your gonna need to get some lower control arms that are the correct length and re drill your track bar. You can do a search and find tons of info on all of these items. After you lift you must get your alignment or you could have dead spots in yur steering. You also want to check all your bushings and tir rod ends to make sure they are tight while your at it.

mattj29

so does f 150 coil springs add lift to the jeep or make it sit the same height

ok thanks

my zj swayed and most of it was the stearingbox and loose arms

zj's have coils in all 4 corners. the best thing would be to get a 2in puck lift or go for a full kit from iro, rc, re, etc...

Skreed

wow didn't even realize you had a zj...my bad.

Check your trackbar bushings front and rear and make sure trackbar bolts are tight.
