Not sure on the ball joints - though they claimed to have gone over all of it a couple of times to make sure it was all up to spec (that was the first 2 visits). Can't answer the steering box adjustment - I just know that they installed a new one. I will open it up and see if the factory marks...

Yes, I was told that this box was the latest "improved" version - I had already had one replaced and it didn't seem to make much of a difference, so when they said they were throwing in another one, I questioned them and was told this one was supposed to be "different." I have generally been...

One more update... and it's an optimistic one. After a week of driving after my latest repair (6th visit to the dealership and a brand new and "improved" steering box installed) I honestly feel that this thing handles much better. I do still get a little wandering from time to time, but not...

And the saga continues... Howdy fellow frustrated JL steering friends. So, after another week without my new JL Sahara, I got the call that a new steering box (the 2nd replacement mind you) has been installed and that it now "feels different." So, I ran out to pick up my shiny new Wrangler...

Latest update on my steering saga... If you recall, at my last visit to the dealership (#5), I was told that nothing else could be found, that the steering was "normal," and that I should drive my new $50K Wrangler for a while and see if I don't come to like this new approach to steering... I...

My latest update.... the dealership (and Chrysler apparently) are throwing in the towel. After 5 trips to the dealership, I got the call yesterday that there is nothing more that can be done. I was told that this is "normal" for the new Wrangler and was encouraged to drive it for a while, I may...

If your dealer is talking about the recent software fix (TSB# 08-092-18), then they are blowing you off. It is out and can be applied now. It helped me out SOME, but didn't completely solve the problem. So, can't hurt to have them do it - at least until the next solution rolls out from FCA.

There seems to be a steering issue with the new JLs (not all of them, but many of them). I have been back to the dealership 3 times (including getting the latest TSB update [TSB# 08-092-18] which helps a bit, but doesn't solve the problem). I have a 4th appointment this week to look further...

Another update on my steering... After a couple days of highway driving after getting the TSB (TSB #08-092-18) update, I can now say that it has definitely NOT been fixed. I said in my previous post that it did seem better, which it does... so either the software update helps, or I am just...

Update on my steering problem. Chrysler reached out with a TSB (TSB #08-092-18) that is meant to address "steering assist at speeds over 40 mph." I had a 3rd appointment yesterday to look into the steering (when asked what I needed help with, my frustrated response was, "fix this piece of...

Hey Darlene, I did send a PM this past weekend with the VIN. I do not believe that I included the mileage though - now near 550. Thanks!

I have the exact same steering problem with my Sahara; too much play in the steering wheel and it wanders all over the road (especially at highway speeds). I find that I am making constant corrections just to stay in my lane - and taking curves at high speeds is flat out scary. I have taken it...
