Since elsguapo (my YJ) has been up and running since the rebuild, there have been a few kinks I still have not been able to work out.
In particular is my steering. Its pretty sloppy. I dont dare go on the highway or travel over 50 for that matter. It becomes very unstable, the steering is unresponsive for like 10 degrees of steering wheel travel, and then responds, the faster Im going the worse it is.
before I knew the limits of the handling, I was zooming up a road I have been going on for years in the jeep(before the rebuild) and some bump steer jerked it over a lilttle bit. I went to correct it only to toss myself into a back and forth fight to keep the jeep in the lane. I just slowed down and it disapeared.
It was never like that. It goes great -straight.
Here is whats going on in the front end: I swapped in Dana44s, so I have FSJ steering linkage - all the way up to the FSJ draglink. I have a YJ drop pitman attached to the YJ steering box. I have NOT had a true alignment, Ive only eyed it. I do not have a trac bar, I need to modify either the FSJ trac bar to fit to the frame, or the YJ to fit to the FSJ Dana44. I do NOT have a steering dampner, again I am trying to figure out a solution to that to.
Any ideas?
