[QUOTE="Mr. Bi-Polar, post: 431065"] One morning in April we wanted to drive to western Maryland for breakfast. We just happen to have selected a road where BGE (our gas and electric) though to rip to shreds. We drove over a dislodged steel plate in the road.. the bad dip and 45MPH took out our drag Link, Tie Rod, sway bar end links and our shocks. But there was also hidden damage I couldn't see and I've always suspected it was the track bar. So we had to order parts which I was going to replace at a later date, earlier than expected.. [ATTACH type="full" alt="imageedit_5_8516204200.jpg"]117078[/ATTACH] Turning to RockAuto, I ordered the Moog pre-assembled drag link/tie rod along with 2 new rear sway links for the front. Again turning to the shop that had installed the lift kit, we drove 5 hours with damaged steering. Later a discrepancy occurred when the shop thought best to have a "noob" tech perform the installation of these components. This inferior installation left my steering at 6° to the left and the dash was lighting up like crazy. What ever that shop did, lost creditably with us and we never looked back. The following morning, we took the jeep to Firestone Westminster, Maryland. There, the general manager a devout motor head knew exactly what the issue was. because of his diligence, we contacted Jeepcares show them the proof that the previous shop botched out installation. Jeepcares later refund our money. Side Note; The jeep has never been the same after hitting that trench and no one can isolate what the issue is. But as I said earlier, I've always felt it was the track bar. [/QUOTE]
