hey guys hows it going, so 2 weekends ago put a lift on my 94 xj sport,
i figured since it being so old mise well replace steering components also, so i purchased this, http://www.ebay.com/itm/200809378348...ht_2931wt_1163
every thing is on and what not, but it turns sharper to the left than the right, i have yet to get an aliment since i have put this on, if i get an aliment will this fix my problem?
I also had to get 1.5" spacers to clear the bottom linkage bar, anyone have any idea's?
thanks, xjman

i have a 4.5" rc lift. i honestly just found out about the steering stops now cause i read up on them. if you mean a picture of the wheels turned, no. just a head on shot.

Don't go cheap. IRO would be your best bet.
Go to each front wheel well and check the width between the shock to the inside of the fender. Make sure you hit the same spot on each side. If the amount is equal then it's probably your stops. If they are different then it is your track bar not centering your front axle like it should because of the lift, hence causing the steering to be more on one side.

and also may i ask, iro means iron rock offroad? i am new to the wheeling and lift and such so i dont know code names for brands.. sorry. :/
Iron Rock Offroad, yes. I wouldn't buy an RC. IRO is much stronger. Edited my previous post, might want to check back so that you can see how to check if your axle is center.



, what is a good but cheap trac bar that you guys suggest?
