so i just finished replacing the driver side control arm bushings and ball joint. after finally getting it on the ground (springs are not fun). when i took it out for a test drive drive i noticed it felt "weird" when i turned left. there is resistance when i first start the turn, but not through the complete revolution of the wheel. it does not matter what position the wheel is when i start turning left i feel resistance. but it turns right perfectly. has anyone else had this problem after replacing these parts.

 

Needs a wheel alignment.

 

Did you grease the BJ?

Watch the steering linkage and make sure you haven't got something out of place and the linkage hanging up on something.

 

You only did one side so their might be an imbalance causing binding.

 

ALWAYS do both sides. You don't replace 1 shock or one brake pad...

 

+1

 

i do plan on doing the other side then i know it needs an alignment. if i still have a problem after replacing other side and alignment i will go from there. thanks for replies.
