I have another question for you all,
A couple months back i did a shackle lift and put 33s on my stock 1988 FJ62. I never did the shim because i really never thought bump-steer would be a problem, and it hasn't been. I upgraded the steering stabilizer, tightened the steering down a bit, and it has been perfect to drive. Lately however there seems to be a lot of feedback from the road coming through my steering wheel. Its not like i cant drive it, but that it takes more energy to drive it now. Part of the problem i found was over-pressurizing the front tires, once i let some air out it helped a little. Now though i can feel every bump and groove in the road. Its mainly when i am going 40+ that i feel this, its not bad to drive its just weird how this just sorta happened.
Driving at low speeds is good, i still have plenty of ATF left in the PS reservoir. The whole steering system is tight with no messed up connections (i have replaced all of that in the last year). The only thing i can think of now is that my steering stabilizer just decided to go once it got super cold, what do you guys think? Its a pain in the ass to get this new steering stabilizer off so id like to at least have someone input before i bust my knuckles again.
