Just did the axle swap and put on 4" rough country lift. Then got an alignment. When I hit a bump or sudden dip or rail road tracks the steering gets a bit scary/jumpy or bounces to where I have to work on keeping it goin straight. If I let go of the wheel it goes all over the place....kinda nervous to take it down the highway yet til this gets resolved.
When I turn the wheel the steering creeks like crazy, so I had a mechanic inspect my work...he says bad ball joints on drivers side, so I'm heeding his advice and changing them out.
Also while just driving around I have a lot more wheel slop....almost 17 degrees of play before the tires start to really respond. I have to do a lot more steering to keep it straight.
Any help???
