Update 2020 JLU Rubicon Steering/Pull issue. So, went to the dealer today who finally got another 2020 JLU Rubicon. Test drove it - WOW...perfect...not one bit of a pull. Honestly, I let go of the steering wheel doing 70 mph and felt like I could stick my hands in my pockets...not pull whatsoever. Moreover, the left/right steering was equal (unlike mine that seems like it resists steering to the left).
So what was the difference? This was a 2.0L vs my 3.6L.
Question? Does anyone know if the steering box is different on a 2.0L vs 3.6L? I imagine since they are both Rubicon, the only difference is just the engine size, but are there any other differences in the suspension/front end that anyone 100% knows? (Please no guess responses...only if you are certain)
@JeepCares Hint...maybe you should look into this.
If you test drive 4 or 5 you may have a better sample. Not everyone with a 3.6 has the issue either. It's a percentage and that I don't know but it's significant enough that we have several people experiencing it - and those are only the ones who look at and post on forums. Drive 3 2020 v6 jlurs and 3 2020 4cyl jlurs and see if it's that way. I don't think a one vehicle test drive is enough, however it's interesting to explore. I believe they are the same steering box, but somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
