Default bumpsteer questions?

Hello all,

im trying to pin down some minor bumpsteer Im having.

as far as I know the drag link and track bar are in line with each other, and also I have done an alignment and such. 6° of caster and 1/8 toe in, I have RE long arms on a 5.5” lift.

I’ve replaced ball joints also.

not sure where to go from here? I’m thinking it’s possible that the axle isn’t far enough forward, even though the caster is correct?

I think you are getting tie rod roll and your drag link is too high on the tie rod. A common flaw in aftermarket steering
