Maybe my paranoia has got the best of me. Since installing all the new stuff, I have been very good about listening for noises and trying to see if something does not feel right.
Well, we put the 4.5 inch Rubicon Express lift on and then brought it to the dealer where they hooked it up to the machine and did the alignment. While there, I also had a drop pitman arm installed (before the alignment).
The jeep drove great, no death wobblem steering was staright, everything was good except for some clicking noises coming from underneath when I drove it home from the dealer friday night.
Saturday I went to the auto shop on Belvoir and after a lot of looking found that the front passenger side upper control arm was not tightened, so I tightened it and the cicking stopped.
Sunday we hit the trail at GWNF and I am pretty sure I did not feel any possible rubbing on the way t GWNF or while at GWNF. I aired down my tires about 10 pounds just to give a little smoother ride for the kid.
While we were at GWNF there was a mud / water pit we played in a little. I went through, then turned around and went through again. It was a tight tirn to turn around again and I guess when I pulled forward I must have dropped the front end into a small washout that was filled with water. The front bumper hit the ground on the other side of the washout.
When we left GWNF I aired back up and when I turned left it felt like there was some kind of rubbing, kind of that feeling you would get if your right front tire was low on air. I checked and the tire does not have any spots on it that appear to have been rubbing against anything.
I may be going crazy, but I cannot see anything that is obviously bent or twisted. I just thought that someone may be able to throw out some suggestions of things I could look at.
