well i have done a few things during the past few months, only really noticeable over 60 kmh, and most of my driving has been city. when i do go out on the hwy, i notice it then try one fix then go out again.

hub centric rings installed - helped a bit
verified balance on all tires - no difference
rotated tires - no difference, that i can recall
re-verified alignment - no difference

i have ruled out everything so far except for the right hand CV that the shop says has too high of an angle. and reading about this lately seems that this may be the culprit. but without knowing the stock angle i cannot check this against what i have.

i may get diff drop brackets made that are a little bit longer to drop the diff and reduce the angle, but without knowing the angles i don't want to go this route yet.

im going to try to rotate the tires again and reverify. also goign to raise the truck off all 4's and put in drive to see i fan can see a shake on the right hand side.

just need time for this.


So i just need someone to measure their front cv angles on both sides for me to compare, if i am close to stock specs, then i can go to the dealership with this info.

With 35"s you may need to think about a steering stabilizer. I am no expert, or even know if they make them but I would call Rancho and ask them about it. Have you asked the manufacturer of your lift for advice?
