[QUOTE="Nick9323, post: 1607987, member: 42837"] I totally agree with [USER=35543]@FordTechOne[/USER] about the warranty and lemon law since it is a game of going back and forth to stock and the aftermarket parts seem to exacerbate the issue. However my own engineering curiosity makes me want to figure out why this is happening. Hearing that [USER=25186]@zombiekiller[/USER] has only had this happen once and comparing their builds and reported driving style, I wonder if KIDORs problem is actually that he did a halfway modification to the truck. If you go full svc kit or similar that's properly engineered to take the abuse and keep the angles right, if that would go away. He pushes the truck hard with stock control arms and bushings but has aftermarket springs and wheels and a ton of extra weight, I think he said like 800lbs normally. The fact that the EXO guys run stupid hard and do huge miles every year but have fully built trucks to me says it's an issue with his build and driving style. Ie you can lift a go kart and put big wheels on it but it doesn't make it a rzr, it's missing all the middle parts that make it work right. It would almost seem that maybe a control arm, bearing, or mount is flexing, causing a weird feedback or somehow messing with a sensors position through a resonant frequency or something.
