Hello All,
It has been quite a while since I posted here but my son and I have an issue with his XJ. Here is some back ground spec's He has a RE 61/2" lift with OME shocks. (I know too much lift but he is 19 and you try telling him LOL). We installed a drop Pitman Arm to try to get better overall highway handling and now if you hit the brakes hard (like is constant in Houston traffic) you get a hard pull to the driver's side. Of course with 6.5" of lift you are getting some severe spring compression in an emergency stop (Like what could happen in bump steer). We had the brakes all apart today checking for a caliper not functioning but they are working well. We did a driveway alignment and it is very close to dead on, and after the alignment it tracked better than ever before.
So does anyone have any ideas of what could cause this? We put on the Drop Pitman Arm to get rid of the sharp angles of the drag link and tie rod and try to eliminate these kind of issues and of course now we have a safety issue. ARGH We love our jeeps!
Thanks,
EZ
