That’s what I gathered that the diff needs to be rotated backwards. I voiced my opinions with the shop, they are going to move the upper arms up on the geo brackets from the 4.5 inch holes up to the 3.5 or even the 2.5 because my springs are sagging about 30mm. If this doesn’t work I want them to remove the geo brackets and just put adjustable upper control arms as I have lower adjustable already installed. The slight kicking in the steering is bumpsteer, due to the massive Currie HD draglink balljoints it doesn’t quite sit at the same angle as the trackbar. With the teraflex trackbar they sat pretty close to parallel

If you replace the brackets, you will feel more harshness from bumps in the road.

I went from adjustable arms to AEV brackets, & found the ride to be immensely improved once the LCAs were horizontal again, as the closer to horizontal they are, the less vertical force is transferred to the chassis when hitting bumps.

Yeah I understand that about the aev brackets, doesn’t dive when braking or squat under acceleration but at the end of the day it’s been built for off-road and I don’t mind sacrificing some of the on road drivability to achieve the off-road performance I had before hand. A lot has to do with this teraflex 4+ housing.

Read the pdf on the Teraflex website forcthe plus 4 housing you need adjustable uppers and loose the geometry correction brackets these are suited to a standard geometry housing
And find a new shop as it seems they dont know what they are doing you shouldnt be paying for a service and then having to go looking for solutions for their mistakes

I have a Teraflex 4"+ housing on stock lower CA's without drop brackets and adjustable upper CA's. No probs with mine at. Drive's nice for a live front axle vehicle.

Yeah I finally have them replace the aev geometry brackets, and install upper and lower adjustable. What length are you running your upper adjustable arms at and what type of lift do you have?
