Trouble Shooting:

(XJ-ZJ) - On vehicles lifted over 4” trimming of sway bar mounting brackets may be required. With kit installed

cycle suspension at full drop. Turn steering wheel to the right and check to see if drag link tube makes

contact with sway bar mounting bracket (pic.8). If tube contacts bracket trim bracket back about

1/4” (pic.9).

lifted over 4” this washer can be used between the steering knuckle and tie rod end. This washer

reduces the movement of the tie rod end to reduce end play during steering direction change. This

dead spot is caused by the angle of the drag link and not the steering system. If dead spot remains

paralle as possible to maintain a safe vehicle.
