Ok i dont know if this is usual for a zook or just my coily being a bitch, i have 2inch lift 2 inch bl, -13 offset rims with ats. Driving along the road is not to bad aslong as its flat, as soon as you hit a bump or the camber slopes to one side of the road im fighting the car to stay straight. If i hit a bump going round a corner it feels like the whole diff moves. Also the steering wheel jerks when i hit a bump to.

G'day!! :P

Do you have a steering dampener?

Has this started after last week end's rally driving? :roll:

Get your toe checked, and the condition of the bushes assessed. However, the key is the 2" lift. You've taken caster out of the front end and that's making the wandering and camber following worse. Coilers might not have enough caster stock, let alone with lift.

I've played with a 2" lifted coiler, with custom wound springs and specially built and valved Koni's, and it desperately needed more caster. Once we re drilled and reinforced the stock radius arm brackets to roll more caster into the front end, it tracked well.

hey bud. nope has been happeing for a fair while ever since i got it actually. i thought it was the dodge wheel bearings. no steering dampner will do that in a week or two.

gwags, thanks for the info, yeh i was thinking about getting new bushes but honestly havent checked if there stuffed. That coily sounds like a bit of a demon, I am after new springs aswell.
