My TLC drove great before the lift, modifications and tires but now I'm experiencing torque steer and bump steer. I need your help. Here are the mods:
I started with a stock 2005 TLC with 50k miles, then added
- OME torsion bars
- Bilstein shocks (front and rear)
- Carls Upper control arms
- Slee diff drop
- regear to 4.88's and ARB lockers
- 17" TLC wheels
- 35" tires
- ARB front bumper
- Slee rear bumper
- Slee skid plates
- 1.38" wheel spacers in front (hub centric and wheel centric)
- 1.25" wheel spacers in rear (hub centric and wheel centric)
Now when I take off from a Stop, the wheel pulls slightly left, then to the right. If I get on the gas at speed, the vehicle pulls right.
When cycling the frontend through it's travel, the "toe in" changes alot in a small amout of travel.
My background is off-road racing and bump steer is always a big concern with offroad cars with alot of wheel travel. But a TLC should not have this much bump steer.
I have 2 issues:
Torque steer - pulls to the right while on the gas. More gas/torque = stronger pull to the right
Bump Steer - While my front tires are moving up and down, the toe changes dramatically and I feel it in the steering.
I did many different searches and I found some info, but I need more help.
Thanks
James
