I installed a Rough country 2.5" lift on my 95 f150. got and alignment, I get bad bump steer when driving, swerves around a bit as the suspension cycles. its not fun to drive. I got it aligned, put all new tie rod ends on, wheel bearings are good. ball joints seam fine. I then did a tie rod flip, still there. I don't have a steering stabilizer, and may add one, but feel it would hide the real problem not actually solve it. Any ideas on what I can do to make this truck drive properly?

 

Check your steering shaft for play. I had an F150 with 6" of lift with steering problems and after chasing my tail on replacing suspension components, wheel bearings, etc. I found my intermediate shaft on the steering to be missing a sleeve bushing and it was causing my truck to wander. Just something to think about. Also, check your rag joint, steering box, etc.

 

Ill check, thanks.

 

windyhill,

Did you ever fix this issue. I also i stalled the RC 2.5, replaced all suspension parts, and added a steering damper. Still wonders on the road. The last thing I can replace is my steering gear. Any info will help. Thanks!

 

Sounds like you may need some camber adjusters and definately a steering damper setup....I got Moog camber adjusters Rancho dual damper on my OBS Ford w original lift..After putting heavy duty springs to raise the frontend up the front wheels were angled like you see in the picture..It steered pretty good but wasnt perfect til I put camber adjusters and adjusted the wheels alot more straighter by a 1.5 degrees.

Good Luck getting yours sorted out.
