Yes the whole steering is much tighter. Maybe there was something else loose that they fixed (did not mention it) but it feels completely different.

Yes it was a vast improvement over the original one "at first" installation. My dealership replaced mine with another Mopar AD version. The night I picked it up and drove it home it was tighter, more solid, and taking bumps was greatly improved. I thought it was fixed and I was loving my Jeep again.....

However about 3 weeks later it has softened up and returned to its normal behavior. I took a long wknd trip with the family and upon our highway commute back home, I noticed the wobble and bump steer has returned along with the loose steering and wandering. I am considering replacing it with the Fox SS so I can control the dampening but like many others on this forum feel, something else is going on here with the front end geometry of these vehicles. Already had the multi-point front end inspection done to verify ball joints and control arms when i had the SS replaced. Back to square one I am

You can spend near $1,000 on steersmarts components. This has worked for some. lol

I replaced mine with a falcon 2.1 for non lifted vehicles. My mechanic also had my tires balanced which he stated was the real problem.. Anyway have zero issues now in relation to the wobble , now my next problem is the steering locking up while driving!!!
