Thanks for the reply. The panhard and draglink are in the stock TJ location, so stock geometry. No obvious bumpsteer. Before I built this suspension, I was running the same trackbar and the same steering for a few years (same springs and lift height as well), with no issues with steering/sway/body roll. Since then I've upgraded the steering (same geometry though), trackbar joints, balljoints. Originally after the suspension I was running the same wheels and tires, and have had 2 other sets of wheels and tires since then without any change. It's been a few years and I've changed and upgraded a number of things, but initially I was basically running the same setup I had been for years before that, just with the new arms. So, I've kind of ruled out a lot of variables. Acts the same in both directions. Much easier to handle with stiffer sway bar. Seems worse between about 20-50mph, at freeway speed it actually isn't too bad. I've adjusted caster between 4-9deg, seems best around 7-ish. Have adjusted toe from very toed in to very toed out, behaves best with 1/16" toed out. Any toe in at all feels like it drives with 6" of toe in.
Despite the F&R individually in understeer at ride height, the body is overall a little oversteer (just under 1deg oversteer). And the front goes into oversteer with a few inches of compression. I just can't figure out if that's what I'm feeling, or of there's something else going on.
I would love to raise the axle side of the trackbar way up (and match with the draglink of course), but it's on a TJ and the passenger spring is right in the way. Doesn't mean it's impossible but challenging. I'm also considering dropping the axle side of the lower arms down a little and trying to straighten the lowers out some. Not a lot of wiggle room there, but I could squeeze some inches.
When I first built it, I was just running a front antirock (no rear bar), softer shock valving, and I had to stop my friend from driving it cause it behaved so bad, constantly feeling like the front end was trying to tuck under and roll us, swaying back and forth, etc.
I've got it aligned where it is definitely drivable, but still doesn't feel great and it's just a much busier ride than it should be with little side to side jerks on bumps, it's driving me nuts and makes me want to not drive it as much. I do crawling, but I also daily drive it pretty often, and spend a lot of time bombing down desert roads as well; so high speed handling is definitely important.
Really appreciate any help and thoughts.
