New 2021 unlimited Sahara stock walking the road. Reduced tire pressure to 35 then change steering stabilizer with a falcon and still walking road.
Any suggestions please

Duke, is this your first Jeep? Reason I’m asking is that all Jeeps drive a bit weird compared to the standard sedan/pickup most folks are used to. Try driving another similar Jeep and compare the feel. If it’s beyond the typical Jeep weirdness your dealer needs to check it out for you.

Its normal, because it's a "jeep thing". Although it's 2022 and jeep still can't seem to find something that would make a modern vehicle like the wrangler not drift, pull, or just flat out unable to maintain a straight line down the road without constant steering correction blows my mind. Driving a wrangler is like landing a 747 in a cross wind with a tornado on your tail.

Look into Exact Center. Looks promising. I'll be getting one when it's available for the masses and dialed in for the jeeps.

First I want to thank everyone for the info. Understand it’s not a sports car but I have driven others that don’t walk the road as bad as this one

My 21 Willys is rock solid. Better than my 2016 Tacoma.

My 2021 two door Willys is a handful as well.Lowering the air pressure in the tires did help the steering corrections but made the wallowing in the curves worse. I checked the caster in my garage, and it looked to be almost 6 positive. I centered the steering wheel which was off slightly from the factory.I have very little play in my steering and no dead spot, as others have complained. I believe much of my problem is a combination of design features tailored to helping the Jeep perform off-road.I do know one thing.....no more mud terrain tires for me. I hope you get yours lined out.

Get her back to the dealer then, it’s an alignment/steering issue and they should warranty it. Good luck!
