I know this has been beat to death but I just need a quick answer. My stock 2019 JLU Sahara steering has slowly been getting worse when going around turns and hitting a bump on the highway. Yesterday for my wife she said it was really bad. Is this something the dealership will fix under warranty? ORRR am I going to pay out of pocket? If I'm paying out of my pocket, what is the fix so I can DIY?

How many miles? Should be covered if under 36k.

You’re not describing death wobble.

27,000 Miles. When driving I'd say any speed over 35mph, if you hit a (pot hole, bump in road, uneven bridge) when going around a turn the front of the jeep shakes. It started a few months ago very minor and I didn't think much of it. The past few times it has gotten worse but not something I would say "woah this is really bad". Yesterday my wife was driving and she said it was worse then before. (This is her Jeep so she drives it everyday). I don't know that I'd say its the steering itself, it seems as though its something else.

I’d crawl under it and watch the track bar where it connects to the frame while your wife tuns the steering wheel back and forth, look for any movement in that connection. Even the slightest of movements makes a difference. Then watch the other end for the same thing. That’s where I’d start .
