I have a '01 XJ that had an 8" Rusty Long arm kit. I changed the springs to a 4-5" OME lift, put a ZJ pitman arm on (kept the Rusty adjustable track bar). Upgraded to ZJ tie rod as well.
But I still have bump steer, and a clunk from the passanger floor when hitting bumps off road (the clunk was there before I changed the springs and shocks).
Anyway I have posted pics of the front end, the orange string "draws a line" to the two ends of the track bar. Would you consider it "parallel with the drag arm?
What my the cause of the clunk be?
Re: Bump steer opinions needed
No, it does not look parallel from what I can see in the pics. You probably need to back to the stock pitman arm
Re: Bump steer opinions needed
Just a wild guess, well maybe not that wild. But that knock sounds like it may be transfer case related, most likely the linkage. It may be going into a bind condition.
I would agree with 4.3 LXJ. Linkage doesn't look real parallel.
Re: Bump steer opinions needed
A few things i would check with that clunk.
-control arm joints
-transmission crossmember bolts
-transmission mount
-motor mounts
