shackle reversal

Postby wedeeatr on Sat Sep 19, 2009 10:30 pm

Hello, I have a '95 YJ that wanders and veers all over the road. I have checked tierods,balljoints, hubs, it has a new powersteering gearbox. I checked the toe-in, but didn't take it to a shop yet. I have been reading that a shackle reversal and a steering stabilizer does wonders for the ride on these. Has anyone done these and what if any are the benefits. Thanks Rich

Shackle reversal will help the ride but not the wandering!

Did you put, or does it have extended front shackle's? Does it dive for one side of the road or the other when hit an uneven section of road?

My jeep wanderes all over the road but you get use to it, but a good set of
aftermarket shocks and a steering damper will make it a lot smoother.
