#2544 of 4604 Pulling to the right by hornet2 Jan 22, 2006 (6:19 am)
I recently had new tires put on my 94 JGC hoping that would solve the problem of a minimal pull to the right I'm experiencing while in motion. When this didn't help, I replaced the front track bar and took the vehicle in for an alignment check. Upon completion of the check, I was told that my steering was in perfect alignment. The mechanic said he looked for any damage that may be causing the pull, but could not locate any. Since my Jeep has 316K on it, should I expect that there are some things, because of age, that cannot be corrected, or is there a chance that there is another reason for the pull?

Replying to: hornet2 (Jan 22, 2006 6:19 am) Take a look at all of the bushings in the frontend. The stock rubber bushings will deteriorate over time. While it's on the alignment rack, everything will be within spec, but while your actually in motion any play resulting from deteriorated bushings will show. You should be able to get your vehicle in alignment regardless of how many miles are on it as long as there is no damage to anything in the frontend. You can replace them, if need be, with stock rubber or polyurethane. Rubber will ride better but will again wear out in time. Poly bushings are more rigid and you have to keep them greased to prevent squeaking.

#2547 of 4604 A lift for my jeep by jeeper96 Jan 23, 2006 (7:16 am)
i am thinking about putting a lift on my jeep.I already have new all terain tires but when they get worn i want to get a lift.I have heard that jeeps can only have up to 30-32 inch tires.But i think its different if you have a lift???When i make sharp turns now once in a while i will hear a small grind as if my tires are to big and scraping.so the other thing i would be woried about to is does it really make it worse for flipping? i mean i only want about a 4" lift and maybe some 33s.

Replying to: hornet2 (Jan 22, 2006 6:19 am) One remote possibility... some areas have crowns in the center of the road so that the slope to the right in the right hand lane makes it seem to be pulling... Of course, if there was the same crown or slope on the left hand side and you steering is set up neutral, then it would seem to pull to the left. It 'should' steer straight on a completely flat surface. Some vehicles seem much more prone to pulling or feeling as if they are pulling. I had one Pontiac years ago that rotating the tires to another position either changed the pull or got rid of it completely. Have you tried swapping the front tires to see if that changes the pull?

Replying to: jeeper96 (Jan 23, 2006 7:16 am) Question for ya jeeper96: what the year,make,model of your vehicle? What size are the tires you have on now?   Check the inside of the tires, and fenderwell, for signs of rubbbing to see if they are in fact rubbing. Generally, the lower the vehicle, the more stability you have. If you install a 4" lift, then your center of gravity raises 4", and your stability decreases moderately. DEpending on your gear ratio, and im guessing it's 3:7:3, you may have to change your gears out to a 4:1:0 ratio for 33" tires. The 3:7:3 ratio will accept up to 32" tires without putting to much pressure on the drivetrain to turn all that extra rubber around. The 4" lift is a good idea . Just be sure to get a good lift kit that will have everything you need, such as longer brake lines, poly bushing, new castle nuts/cotter pins where needed.ect.ect. ;   I hope this helps you, and good luck m8.

#2550 of 4604 Slips out of all-wheel drive by walkindude06 Jan 23, 2006 (2:46 pm)
I have a 1998 Grand Cherokee Limited. The problem I am having is whenever the roads are wet or snow covered the all-wheel drives slips out. It seems like it shifts to rear wheel drive. The computer on the center console shows the tires blinking green. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
#2551 of 4604 Re: Pulling to the right [wlbrown9] by hornet2 Jan 23, 2006 (4:45 pm)
Replying to: wlbrown9 (Jan 23, 2006 11:56 am) Thanks for the speedy reply. When I took my Jeep in to have the alignment checked, the tires only had a few miles on them. I thought new tires might correct the problem, but it still persists. Because my Jeep has high mileage, I'm assuming that it might be the bushings that are the culprit. I'm going to replace the bushings in the front end in a week or so. I sure hope that's what's causing this. Thanks again for the reply!
