I drove my son's 2019 Wrangler JL Sahara for the first time awhile back and was a bit startled by its handling. I have never driven any other vehicle, including trucks, that behaved like this.
There is almost ZERO "return to center" force at the steering wheel when coming out of a turn. You basically have to hand-over-hand it back to center otherwise it will just keep turning. He's used to it but to me it feels very unstable as if it could dart off to the left or right if you were to let go of the wheel - or hit a pothole, etc.
We added longer lower track arms to add more caster thinking this would help - and it did - but it still doesn't feel right to me.
Is this typical of how all Jeep Wranglers behave?
He bought the truck built by the dealer's customer shop with 2" Mopar lift and 35x12.5 BFG AT2 on 17x9 Method wheels. Everything has been checked (alignment, etc.) and all are within spec.
Did not see the answer - is the Jeep you drove modified in any way? Specifically a spacer lift will really do what you say. Could even be something as little as wheels with different backspacing.
