Thanks, I’ve already gone over all the possible causes, everything is perfectly normal, I’ll go get my tires checked and see if that resolves my issue
You beat me to it.
Control arms set caster, not align the axle - unless you mean it was sitting too far back and needed to be moved forward.
I wonder if they meant that one side was adjusted in or out father than the other. Different lengths on each side. Never mind. Re-read it. Yeah. That makes no sense.
Yes, passenger side was sitting further back and causing my spring to bow forward. But wobble started after I took in for an oil change and got my tires rotated. That’s why I was wondering if tires can be an issue, this is my first 4x4 and dealing with aftermarket stuff.
Yes, tires can - either a bad tire, balance issue and so on.
I think he's saying that he had the standard axle shift associated with a lift.
I'd agree, but............. he said passenger side was sitting further back (assuming he means than the left) and that's just not possible with stock control arms and if adjustable were installed and it ended up that way, the installer messed up bigly.
Got them installed at a 4x4 shop, it all started because I went from 3.5 in springs to 4.5, shop that installed the springs told me it was fine that I wouldn’t need anything else to accommodate the taller spring. Took it out of the shop and noticed the bow out and the tech said it was normal for some bow out so took it to another shop for a second opinion and adjustable control arms were recommended to fix the issue.
it can be, There is enough slack in the mount holes and the stock bolts don't fully fill. which means if your not careful you can end up having a full 1/2in of difference between both side. you can either upsize the bolts DIY from McMasterCarr or a kit for MC, or you can be super attentive and make sure both sides measure equal before you torque em down. This is why its recommended to do one arm at a time on the ground rather than lift and let the truck hang. I went from stock to the Mopar 2in lift extended arms and made this mistake and wondered why no matter the alignment my truck tracked left and the dumb dealer tech said my cross caster was just off. Which it can't be unless the axle is bent cus thats a welded in spec. After enough headache i decided to redo and see if i missed something, lo and behold the passenger side was all the way forward in the frame perch and the driver was all the way back. so i loosend both and got a 2x 2in 33k rachet straps and pulled it as tight to the rear axle as possible till both sides sat in their perch equal. then i retorqued and the truck tracked straight again.
