Lifted 2008 JK Unlimited sway problem

[Pugsly]

I am involved in the build of the above vehicle. The steering is really squirrely when you are over 30 MPH. it has a 4" lift, rs9000 shocks, drop pitman arm and dual steering stabilizers. 35" nitto tires on mickey thompson rims.

I cannot seem to get the steering to work right. What am I missing? Any help would be cool!

Welcome to the Z.

Have you had a professional alignment or have you aligned it to OEM specs?

Post a picture up of the front axle. It's easier to determine what may be wrong. You can email it to me if you can't post.

yes to the wheel alignment. the jk will be back in my shop on monday and i will take fron axle pics. are photobucket attachments acceptable here? if so i can easily upload them.

OK, we rechecked the alignment and changed to bigger shocks and a double steering stabilizer. seems better, but still wanders. especailly when you hit bumps (bump steer?) I am wondering if more caster would help. It feels just like you are riding a bicycle with the handlebars turned around backwards.

Question, is the a long arm kit available for the front axle that has adjustable caster?

Thanks in advance! Jim
