Bumsteer

[DFW64]

I've got a fair amount of low level bumpsteer and lateral movement coming from the front end that didn't used to be there. The ride can also get pretty choppy. Bumpsteer increases on gravel or dirt roads.

Icon shocks, front sway bar links, track bar ball joint, icon upgraded track bar joint and tie rods were all replaced less than 25,000 miles ago. No visible slack in any of these parts. Recently tightened all parts and bolts.

The drag link is factory and was replaced 70,000 miles ago.

The OUO ALA lock nuts are all tight and no noises coming from the front end.

Also running dynatrac ball joints and free spin hubs. Tires are 305/75/18 Nitto Dura Grapplers.

Think it might have something to do with the track bar, track bar ball joint or the shocks. Any other ideas or suggestions?

Maybe the steering stabilizer your running is toast and is allowing the tires and front end to get pushed around to much.

Id say check the trac bar bracket at the frame as well. Check for cracks and loose bolts.

Looks like it ended up being the track bar rod end from Icon and the track bar ball joint. Both had movement when driving.

Ordered a rebuild kit for the rod end from Icon and another track bar ball joint and hope to have it cleared up this week.
