Actually it did happen a couple of times before the lift. So the wife took it to 4 State Four wheel drive and they told her all it needed was a steering stabilizer. So she had it put on and it pretty much took care of the problem (well hide the problem) but it got worse after the lift was installed. We have had numerous off road places look at it and they all say it looks as it was installed correctly.

OK I just got an Email form the wife and this is what she had to say.

It isn't on constantly. Only when the grinding noise starts and the brake feels like it's bouncing or trying to lock up and then it slows itself down and the steering wheel shakes.

Did the shop check the ball joints and the torque on the control arms? They also need to check the tires to make sure they are properly balanced.

They said they did but they said they were fine, but we went to another shop and they told us they needed changed, but another shop said it needed new tie rod. So since I am not there to see, I have no Idea who is trying to just make a dollar.

Well she took it back this morning and he drove it and it went away so maybe the computer reset. As far as the DW it is still there. So our next investment is to buy Ball Joints and have them installed, we are looking at the Dynatrac prosteer ball joints I hope this does it.
