[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 428133, member: 18789"] Yes, that is why you have the play in the wheel. When you have to correct for bumps, that is bump steer. The slight lift you have puts the drag link at an angle. You hit a bump, suspension compresses, pushes angled drag link which forces steering wheel to turn left. It's annoying, Jeep really screwed us with the factory steering design. The fix for that is try to get the drag link as flat as possible. You can try swapping to a drop pitman arm if you don't have one. [/QUOTE]
