Ok I have a zj with 34's on it and has alot of slack in steering, when im sitting still i can turn steering wheel and it pops when tires turn straight then start turning either way, when driving it makes the jeep float and i have to prepare for every turn with steering wheel already turned in the direction of the curve its never been this bad what is easiest way to fix this problem, and what is causing this???? thanks!
 
Cmon I know ya guys can help me out, I feel like its something simple but not sure exactly what the simple problem might be!!!!!!!!
 
id start at the track bar,frame bracket and frame where the track bar mounts. have someone turn the wheel to duplicate the problem while u watch the susp. it should be easy to spot if its poping. then post pic of the failed part then we may tell you how to cure it.
 
sounds good man nice zj btw I seen ya at the toyrun looks great!
 
x2 for track bar. I had a similar problem with mine and my TB bushing was shot. What kind of track bar are you running? or do you have a drop bracket?

I'm starting to notice mine getting sloppy again. This time I think I'll try the super hard durometer bushing that KOR sells.
 
I'd look at the trackbar/panhard bar and also look at the pitman arm, perhaps it's loose. Definately get a friend with you to turn the wheel back and forth and you look over the steering system.
