Default Steering Issues

I just recently upgraded my steering to Rugged Ridge 1 ton, I don't have a steering box brace or anything yet. It was aligned I took it wheeling and now its all out of whack also I was also thinking about flipping my track bar mount on top of the axle, What could be causing the problem it has me stumped.

Have you made sure the lock down nuts are tight on any of the adjusters?
You might want to try cycling the steering wheel center to full lock to the right and then to the left to see if you notice anything that doesn't look right.

What do you mean out of whack? That kit is know for having a decent bit of play due to it's design.

Your description of the problem leaves a lot to be desired.

Be more specific and you'll get replies that will help.

"All out of whack" is just to general of a description for anyone to decipher.

It's like saying "My Jeep is broken, how do I fix it?"

Help us help you. give a detailed description of the problems you are experiencing.

We can't very well provide a cure if we don't know more about the symptoms.

Fair enough?
