i had DW a while back with crapped out bushed in some after market control arms that came with my lft kit so i put the factory oned back on which solved the issue.
I got one again 5 months later due to worn ball joint in draglink which Jeep replaced under warranty and they also replaced tie rod which fixed the issue. I also got a adjustable panhard from DBOR.
I checked the ball joints at the knucles on the axle and they are fine but there is some slight movement elsewhere which i want to sort so i will gfet some decent LCA that i can adjust the castor and go from there.
The steering dampener is fine but this masks a problem elsewhere so want to sort that out. Trial and error but will get it sorted, as i said i dont have DW anymore but there is too much feedback for my liking.
When i get this sorted i will have the perfect rig!

My order from wooders today, 2 sets of grab handles and a daystar dash replacement.

Also bought two mounts (GME SSTEEL) to mount the spotties onto the mopar bar, next tuesday the spotties get fitted (my old ones of the old car)...

So this weekend the new Daystar Dash goes in

just installed my lower poly performance control arms. How much grease are you supposed to inject into that sucker? I am sure from new the barrel takes a fair whack but i seem to be doing it forever. Do you continue until the grease starts to push out of the bush?
