Getting used to the different steering feel

[ryanv]

Started driving my family to PA for the holiday weekend last night in my wife’s Honda CRV. Within a few minutes I commented to my wife, as we were driving down a long straight road, that the ride sure felt different than my Jeep.
She asked how and I said that it felt like the CRV was rocking back and forth, side to side and that the Jeep felt more stable. She then commented that maybe it was because I kept moving the steering wheel side to side in small increments. Left unsaid by the wife, when you turn the steering wheel, the car reacts...
I then realized that I do that often in the Jeep to keep it centered on the road, ie making a lot more small movements of the steering wheel which don’t upset the vehicle as much because of the natural amount of play designed into the setup. Fascinating how my way of driving has adapted so quickly, and also how that adaption has been revealed by driving a vehicle with more traditional steering reactions.
Not a complaint - just an observation. Loving my JL!

I have a 2019 JL with 4in of lift. 37in tires

steering is bad. It wants to dive left or right to the point my wife just wants to sell it. I have upgraded the stabilizer and it helped a little. It has had an alinement. I will be adding a Track bar brace soon. If that doesn’t work it’s doing back to a better knowledgeable Jeep alinement shop. Wish me luck
