Yes I agree, and I have had them check the bushings. Only play in any of them was the track bar end and Clayton replaced it u deer warranty. It was very minimal but enough they sent me a new one and it was replaced. As far as tie in, I’m gonna have them try that this week.

No they did not remove the knuckles, I know that for sure. The used a bar under them the same as I did at home.

I agree, thank you

I get what you’re saying and I have taken consideration into everything I’ve put on it. Mine has been modeled off a friend’s gladiator who has been wheeling for years and has a reputable YouTube overlanding channel. Everything has stayed the same on my gladiator since I purchased it and has been...

I’ve not found play anywhere, and though I can’t or the shop can find any in the ball joints it makes sense with camber issues on the passengers side from the alignment sheet.

I agree, the drop brackets do make sense. I just know a lot of people running the Clayton that haven’t used them and not had any trouble. But every vehicle is different. And it’s drove amazing until now. And no the shop did not and I was wondering that myself looking at their sheet compared to...

Ball joint deletes from American Iron is my next move once the steer smarts sector shaft brace goes on this week.

Yes, I’ve rotated the tires every 3-4K miles usually before the oil change even.

I thought so to and asked about that, they said we may try that as well.

Absolutely !! It’s driving me insane. I’ve put more money and time into this than any other vehicle I’ve ever had. This was my dream truck and it’s quickly becoming the biggest headache lol. But I don’t wanna give up because I do love it.

Thank you very much, it’s been frustrating with it handling so well up until now. The rod play was on the old ...well not old but the factory tie rod ends. That’s why I purchased the Apex 2.5 ton thinking it would fix it. I’ve had it aligned twice and have swapped wheels and tires off my wife’s...

Thanks for the comment and info, I was just under the impression like probably a lot of people that the adjustable control arms will correct everything needed. But now I see and understand it will correct caster but will not do anything for the geometry. I get that totally and can understand...

I see your point very well and appreciate it. I do have in my opinion a really good lift with good adjustable control arms. Maybe I will try the brackets if caster doesn’t fix it. And do exactly what you just said. It would probably ride better but the ride is actually great. It just puzzles me...

That being said...going back to the cold making metal shrink and fluids stiffer. It also makes rubber and sidewalls stiffer. I never had a problem until the first cold night in October. That weekend I had to go guide for a disabled Veterans archery deer hunt. And it got down to 30 that night and...

Yep I can see that, I agree with what he was saying. Thank you for all the replies, it helps ease my mind that I’m not crazy lol ?. But then again...I am a Buckeye ?

Mine are “ D “ load range

Yes I misunderstood what he originally said. I understand what he’s saying now. But I’m curious to how many have had to use them because there has been so many lifted. I’ve not heard or seen of anyone needing them with the adjustable control arms yet. And I’m extremely upset it happening with it...

Correct, this is the first winter for the truck. I’ve read a lot of places and supposedly steer smarts has even proved it takes 6.5 caster to fix it in the gladiator. So when they install the sector shaft brace I’m gonna have them set it at 6.5 to see if it goes away. I had so many say change...

Sorry I misunderstood your original comment. It does make sense, but is it the fix with it being great until now ?

No he doesn’t, still factory.
