Need a little assistance from the Phoenix experts...again lol.. After installing the lift, im getting some shaking in the front end while travelling around 50-60 mph. Also while i was driving on the 202 if i hit any big bumps or dips in the road it caused my ESP light to come on
I checked the torque on the trackbar, Centerd the steering wheel, retightened the tierod and drag link ends, balanced the tires and got a alignment check.. When i installed the trackbar and control arms, the bolts were loose and i tightened them with the wheels on the ground but still getting shaking in front end.
Anyone know anything i may of missed? im also not using the drop pitman arm that came with the lift as i couldnt get that btch off

Mine did that also with my OME hd lift but only once and has not done it since so I ignored it. Yours keep doing it? I took mine up to 80mph as a test and all was good. The vibration was at 50-60 and 65-70.

Mines doesnt do it past 60. I brought it up to 80mph and it seemed ok
Ill have to take it for a ride again later today when i get out of work and see if it does it again, it just seemed to start on the ride home from the superstition mountains yesterday

A couple of weeks ago I had a case of Death Wobble. It doesn't sound like you have that. It sounds like a tire might be out of balance. If you've already checked that... You might consider checking your Ball Joints and your castor. I would expect the alignment shop to have checked these items. Also, check that your steering stabilizer isn't going bad. For me it was bad Ball Joints and a bad Stabilizer. Seriously, wish you good luck with this issue. And, let us know what resolves it.
