2021 rubicon steering “off center”

[Fuser]

Got a 2021 rubi back in December, it now has 4500 miles and on Friday my wife texted me this picture, took it to the dealer the same day, called them today and they haven’t diagnosed it yet. Anyone else had this issue?

What did your wife hit? I hit a large rock on a trail and that happened. Was a simple adjustment to get it straight again.

Adjust the drag link and get it straight again.

Adjust the drag link and get it straight again.

Simple fix. 15mm socket and a large vice grips or similar to adjust the drag link. I'm sure there are videos around. Will take you maybe 5-10 min to center it. Usually you center it and drives around but it may still be off so you stop and adjust a little more till you get it where you want and then tighten the 15mm down all the way.

This is a covered warranty fix at your Jeep dealership.

Riiiiight...

I had this happen on the trail a few times to my JKs.

It takes a pretty big blow to one of the front tires. Hitting a tall parking stop or a curb pretty hard would do it.

It truly is a 10 minute fix.

The dealer will straighten it once or twice free of charge as a courtesy. But if you keep bringing it in for this they will charge you.

Can happen if you are parked very close to a high curb, or a wall, and you keep forcing the steering wheel till your front tires are jammed against the wall/curb.
