Between 9:30 and 10:15 is THE BEST explanation of drag link geometry there is, THANK YOU for this video and your expertise and your ability to explain the science behind a jeep front end. So many videos fall short or give incorrect and incomplete information. YOU SAID IT BEST, I've learned more in this video than countless hours of other videos. THANK YOU!!!
I'm chasing a poor drive ability issue...your explanation of the relationship between the spindle ball joint and the track bar mount may just be the issue I'm confronting. Thanks for "steering" me in the right direction!
Great video and explanation. I just had 1tons and 40's put on my jku. Rides fantastic on and off the trail. Now planning my next big item, more horsepower. Thanks for sharing.
Very helpful thank you. Been having problems with wobble and so far have replaced everything (some things twice) and just pressed on teraflex ball joints as a last ditch effort. If it doesn’t help I’m worried if using the tape measure to adjust my track bar wasn’t precise enough. But in the end it seemed like there were only two options at 180 degrees putting it about 1/8”off in one direction or 1/4” off the other direction
Great run through, but you mention talking about camber, but I think you may have missed it. I’m having issues with a ton of negative camber and looking for advice on how to correct it.
Excellent video. Someone added a track bar relocation bracket on my 2010 I just purchased, but did not flip the drag link so I believe this is my issue. Question: would you rather have an adjustable track bar and use the factor bolt location for the track bar or leave it in the relocation bracket and install a high steer flip drag link? I have an unlimited with 35's and 4" lift. Jeep drives pretty good on the highway at 70, but in town handling is absolutely deadly. Also, my caster is 3.6 on the passenger and 4.4 on the driver (just had it on the alignment machine). We did not touch it because I have adjustable upper and lower control arms coming for the front (currently has fixed length stock upper and aftermarket lower).
thanks to explanation,naw i know wat is wrong mounted on my jeep.. the trak bar cu drag link is not parallel.I just monted a Synergy Jeep JK Steering Kit on my jeep with in flip mode with no correction on trak bar. All my car have a big problem ..direction is not ok. I MUST ORDER A RELOCATION BRACKET too corect this..thanks
I assume torque steer is same as bump steer? Thank you for the discussion of this - I always wondered what this meant. Also, I had to abandon one Jeep (a 2010 JK, now own 2016 JK) as I could never resolve death wobble - maybe it was bad caster all along? How prone to DW are the JKs you build?
Thanks. What happen when you have doble u-joint driveshaft, since the geometry, that meet to point flat from the differential, If you move the caster the drive shaft angle is going to getting worst. This does not have any solutions?
I installed teraflex draglink and tierod in my JK now my steering is off and I can’t center it thru the sleeve on the draglink cuz the sleeve is at max in I can’t make the draglink shorter. What do u think i should look for at this point?
I have a 15 jku lifted 3.5" rock krawler on 37" after going through Rubicon trail, the jeep doesn't seem right when driving through turns going 30 to 60 MPH. It wonders and I need to constantly correct steering. Also on turns on does a quick slip and catches itself. if anyone has had a similar issue I would love to hear about it. Thanks
He never stated what engine the numbers came from, he was just talking in general about going from one horsepower number to another and what issues can happen.
