Did you figure out the cause of the problem yet?

If they give you any answer besides we will tear it back apart call corporate, file a complaint with the BAR and with BBB. That will get someones attention.

You are a better person than me, I would of asked to see the steering stabilizer that they said would fix the problem and beat the guy over the head with it.
you southern California folks must have lameos down there. Up here in Sac Town I have had nothing but good experiences with 4WP. About 20 years and 5 different 4wd vehicles 3 of which were Jeeps. Stand by their work and even fixed a broken front seat(they broke it) with no questions asked.

Just wanted to chime in.....I have a trutrac in the front and rear of my Jeep. Once the Trutrac was installed the shop told me the steering will feel heavier. I immediately noticed my steering felt heavier. Also, my Jeep does have a slight pull to the right. I too have checked everything tire wise and suspension wise. Everything checks out. I jacked the Jeep up to check the balljoints and everything felt tight. Let me know what your outcome is.

I had a Yukon Grizzly Locker installed up front with a DuragGrip in the back.

I also have a pull to the right. Has anyone found a root cause for this?

Ran TrueTracs front and rear in my 07 X for 4 years on 33 and 35" tires and never felt any pull or heavy steering whatsoever.

In 4WD yes, it steers a little slower but that's just plain old traction not fault of the LSD.

OP one simple problem may be the passenger side brake caliper got spun around once when they bolted it back on.
Result is your brake line is twisted up and nor relasing pressure on the piston and causing the right brake to drag.

Hope it's a simple fix. 'let us know what they do for you.

Sorry it's been so long since I've replied. The Tru-trac stopped pulling after about 3000 miles. Guess it needed to break in. I did give them a hard time for for the fix advice. I'm more than happy with the performance of the Tru-trac. Works better than expected.

put a lunch box locker in my old tj and even in 2wd it pulled. In 4x4 it pulled so bad it was dangerous. After a month of that I pulled it out.
