I think the damper may help, especially if you have the Falken M/Ts. The Falkens, even though the same size as the BFG KO2s, weigh 10 lbs per tire more than the BFGs. That's a 20% increase. My wife and I have identical 19 JLURs, only I have the Falkens and she has the KO2's They were built together last week of April just a few days apart and I've verified they have the same front end parts, but her steering is feels tighter. Mine, with the Falkens, has a larger "center dead spot" than hers and I don't like it. I may go for the Falcon 2.2 damper and I think that'll fix it up.
Iā€™d be tempted to swap wheels and tires with her and see how each handles.

My jeep has a June 2018 build date and shows no recalls on the Mopar website.
Not sure why some have the recall, and some don't ? My production date is 04/06/19.
It is the Rubicon Unlimited V-6
I'll update after the 16th , after the repairs

They might be slowly allocating groups of VINs. They are already allocating only 1 new steering stabilizer per week per dealership and they need to manage the parts back order process.

Mine isn't wandering but at highway speeds I'm getting increasingly worse wobble as mileage increases. Only"death wobble" comes up on Google search. Wondering if v41 will help?

I'm just spitballing here, but could have more to do with where the part was sourced for a particular batch on the line, so you could have a build date for 3 weeks in August of 18 that were fine and then the next 5 weeks were bad and then the next 6 weeks were good because the part came from Mexico that was good and then it came from Canada and was bad. Just a guess.

If you feel the same deadspot sitting still it's variance in the steering box play, nothing to do with tires.

After just shy of a week since having v41 done and I'm afraid the wandering is returning .

On way to work this morning hit about 55 on theone and only straight section i get to drive on , in the left lane, the steering wheel is straight. The road is smooth, and the jeep wanders right over into the right lane. :facepalm: rest of my commute is curvy backroads, don't have any issues there

Just picked up my 19 Unlimited MOAB on Thursday and found the recall online tonight. I will have my dealer look into it tomorrow and see what is going on. I asked about recalls and was told I didn't have one.

Just had the V41 completed... Definitely made an improvement... Was experiencing constant correction when hitting bumps etc.. Hard to keep in straight line (also had to keep both hands firmly on the wheel)..
The "jolt" when hitting bumps had definitely diminished (was able to drive with less correction).. Time will tell...
