Front Axle Uneven Droop

[annihil8ted]

I had jacked my front end up to diagnose ball joints and noticed that the droop is lower on the passenger side compared to the driver side.

Intuition tells me that they should be even so I'm trying to figure out what could be the reason?

Also it seems at full droop, my springs are at risk of falling out. Should I find a way to constrain them?

31" lifted 3.5" LJ on stock arms. I had replaced all the arms, upper, lower, front, and rear and had torqued them while vehicle was sitting on flat ground. Could it be possible I didn't do a good job as I believe I had or maybe i need to go back, loosen up everything, and retighten?

I'm also realizing my axle is may be off center based on the angles of the sway bar linkages but they don't seem to be binding when I took the photo so I feel the droop should be even right?

Thinking about it more too, at full droop, just a like a lift, it should pull the axle to the driver so maybe it's okay?

Trackbar is most likely causing this.

Trackbar is most likely causing this.

I did very recently replace the track bar although I never bother to take notice before/maybe it was never that apparent

Are you saying track bar install is bad or wrong? I had installed and torqued it on the ground too

Track bar will pull it to the driver side, plus more weight on the driver side, would theoretically cause more driver drop. Your picture sure looks like the driver side is lower.

Also, that passenger side sway bar links being at that angle will be a factor.

No worries, this is normal. If you check the rear, you should note more droop on the passenger side because the rear track bar is oriented reverse of the front.

Thanks y'all! That good to know this is normal

Yeah it surprised me with how off centered it was at full drop but at ride height, it's very even
