Herky Jerky

My wife has a 2012 TRD with a 3" Bilstein lift and 18" Toyo R/T tires. Since it's her truck, per say, I don't drive it much. Although, I took it out yesterday to check my cattle and realized a noticeable jerk in the steering wheel when traveling at a slow speed on a gravel road. The jerk is quite noticeable but no squeak, clunk or any other noticeable indicators. Any idea where to begin? All appears tight at first glance. Thanks

 

so you are traveling straight and then it jerks you to the left or to the right?

 

Absolutely...quick jerks in either direction.

 

do you have after market upper control arms?

 

Was there a good alignment done after the lift?

 

I'm not completely sure....we've only had it for a month and we purchased it modified from a dealer.

 

take good pictures of your suspension, shocks ucas and all and post them up here

 

I will...she'll be home from work in an hour or so and I'll post. Thanks

 

Well there's your problem right there.

 

I appreciate your insight there Captain Obvious but I'm here seeking suggestions and not your infantile sarcasm. I apologize for not getting the pics up last evening as it was a horribly rainy day here. Is it everyone's general consensus that a faulty UCA would cause these short, violent jerks? Thanks

 

Touchy sikora8, it's an internet forum. Chill pill, calm down. He means you have no idea what is under the body, so you don't have a clue yet. Post lots more solid well thought out information with pics. Coulda done that first, Internet troubleshooting with no info always gets you the 'fun answers'. I think it's the blinker fluid.

 

FTFY

 

Sorry for the obvious, but it's not in 4wd right?

Jerking on straight driving, turning...?

I would guess lifted too high for stock UCAs, perhaps amplified by spacer lift when your uses need a real lift.
