Getting the Wheeling Fever

Ok, I bought one of the indy4x4 lifts for my 99 Amigo. the one that you crank up your toursion bars and you get new springs and shocks. Well I know that it will put wear on the CV's because of the angle they are now in. When I put it in 4wheel drive It pulls to that side(driver). I pulled the wheel off and gressed the joints. But its still doing it. It almost acts like its locked in on that side. When its in 4wheel drive only. Anyone have any ideas?

Body Damage is Cool

Sometimes rebuilt cv axles will bind on full droop (burfield shaft). OEM Isuzu axles don't. Try jacking up the front and see if the wheels turn OK.
