Another chasing bump steer post

[jxv1247]

Been chasing down bump steer for a bit, and am kind of at a loss for a potential solution. Steering is Currie, track bar is a rough country along with the moog bushings and 14mm hardware . Everything is tight , and the “drop bracket” has 2 1” welds as long as being bolted to the factory mount. Any clues ?

It's been reported that the drop bracket with the RC track bar will cause bump steer. The stock mount is perfectly fine and retains factory geometry. Do you also have a drop pitman arm?

Is it bump steer or does it seem to drift to the left? If that Fox steering stabilizer is a nitrogen charged one, it will cause a drift to the left.

No, but it seems like everyone that reccomends this setup is not running a drop pitman arm either .

Might just order a jks track bar for it and see if that makes a difference

Go Currie, Buy once cry once

Do you know if there’s a difference in the bend of a jks vs Currie ?

I believe the Currie/Rockjock will give the maximum amount of diff cover clearance at full bump whereas the JKS and by extension Metalcloak will contact the diff cover.

have you tried disconnecting the steering dampener to see if bump steer improves? being as thats connected pretty far up the drag link and to the axle, its going to be having some influence on the steering as suspension cycles as it moves in a different radius of arc compared to the rest of the linkage. of course, its only going to affect anything when the suspension is cycled fast as the dampener tries to resist the sudden movements. Just spitballing, that's about the only thing that caught my eye.

I have not, but it's worth a shot !
