Jeepin Als UCA's and no lift!

kj lad · **Posted:** Mon Apr 07, 2008 4:49 pm

Well, having problems with my cv joints and decided it could be lift related so I took out my daystar lift kit and ordered a set of OME springs to change the cv angles.

How long can I drive with the Jeepin als UCAs without a lift before I cause other problems and what problems will it cause?

Cheers,

Ian

your aligment must be out pretty bad....thats not gonna take too long to mess up your meats.

if you took the lift off your alignment is way off and will just chew the tires off in no time as jeep4me said.

Does this mean I'm putting undue stress on the steering and suspension?I'm a little concerned because this Jeep is used by wife to pick up my son. It's going to take about four weeks to get my suspension.

Not really. It will wear out the tires though.

Would it be possible to get an alignment? Tell them the situation because they will not be able to get the chamber 100% with the upper arms but should be able to get the tow set.

how does the steering feel, i figure it must be a bit squirelly since you are driving on more of the edge of the tire instead of all the tread. In emergency situations that will really affect the handeling.

The steering is actually tighter than it's every been! That maybe down to toe being out? Back on stock wheels and tyres so not too bothered about them. Will put the 255/70's back on when the OME kit arrives. Thanks for re-assurances though guys.
