2020 JLU(S) and the steering issue

[nerubi]

Don't you think the engineers would of thought of that? Steering and suspension have been a sometime occurrence for decades but not on most. And none of the backyard mechanuc solutions have worked for everyone.
Now that Bronco is going with IFS as have G Wagon and others maybe Jeep will get rid of the solid axle to the great consternation of the "hard core" Jeepers that will consider that heresy.

if that was the cause of the looseness than all jeeps would have the. same problem. The Synergy sector brace is an item that helps keep the steering box from moving.

wouldn't it be cool if IFS was an option from the Jeep dealers ?

i’ve been around this forum long enough to know who to listen to and who to not to pay attention to.

are the dealers admitting the 2020 has issues... i got mine as one of the first to roll of the line.. and 5 visits they swore it was fixed.. i then put 1k into my steering parts and it was better for a bit but getting worse again.. running tires low pressure helps.. but doesn't fix.. is it worth taking back to dealer now that some time has passed?

a interesting spin, i hear through a very credible source that fca issued a tech bulletin this week which addresses wandering and pulling to the right. it’s a combination of steering gear parts (or adjustment) and a computer software update. Dealers may not be aware of this yet and the parts and procedures are not yet established.

I don’t know what it entails, or what will come of this.

So the dealer confirmed the service bulletin, and has agreed to replace the steering box and flash the steering fluid pump to update it.. so o think my 400 dollar bi directional steering stabilizer got ruined by the old steering box... should I see if @JeepCares would he’ll me with a credit towards a new steering stabilizer

For 2020 owners, how is the steering? Has it been resolved? Any problems? My Sahara is scheduled for delivery in a few weeks, so I’m hoping this has been fixed.

I took delivery in early September of a ‘20 Sahara with 2.0L. I am not having any steering issues.

I took delivery of a 20' JLU Sahara 3.6 end of October and do not have any steering issues

I got my 2020 in Jan and do not have much steering issues either but im still getting it replaced, however this new part was not included in any 20s. Its only in 2021 builds starting now.
