Rausch Creek Trail Run - November 2007 - Page 3
After a brief stop for
lunch and BS session we proceeded on. We
crossed the rock creek and entered a tough rocky
section.
WTF? I
can't turn right! Mike in the
jeepfan.com JK was navigating a rocky
section just across the rock creek and
realized that the Jeep would no longer steer
to the right. Left was fine back to
center. The Jeep was pulled
ahead out of the mud and we laid down to
look underneath. At first everything
seemed fine and the worry set in...how could
something be driven if you can't turn right?
After a
meeting of the minds, looking the Jeep over,
and speculation a quick spot by Mark it was
discovered that the steering stabilizer at
the point where it mounts to the tie rod had
rotated due to contact with a rock.
The "relocation" had caused the stabilizer
tube to hit the track bar mount on the axle
when turning.

After a
little readjusting we were on our
way. Definitely could have
been worse. |

While we
didn't do anything extreme and there were no roll
overs we all still had a lot of fun and enjoyed each
others company. The weather was perfect for
fall and hit the upper 50's so we were all
comfortable in sweatshirts and light jackets.
Until next time...
