THIS. Having read other warnings I was gentle but amazing how many "clicks" there were as I pushed down.Suprising how many fuses were loose.
That’s great news! I’m so glad it’s working for you!I installed a Teraflex Apline adjustable lower control arms today. Put them in at 1/4" longer than the Mopar 2" lift LCAs (@24.5") for an estimated +7.5 caster. Major improvement for My RedRubi. The install of the PSC SK500 hydraulic gave me very light steering. With the addition of the Teraflex Falcon 2.2 adjustable steering stabilizer and these Apline LCAs it has provided a firmer feel. All center play (PSC) and sloppiness to steering is gone.
After I put my PSC steering on I about sent my JL off the road first time I went around a corner, was shocked it turned with less a 2-3” of wheel input,For those with steering play and issues, do you have to re-learn driving when driving other vehicles?
LOL, this is funny coz I have been driving my JLUS since we bought it 3 months ago, suddenly today had to drive my bro's Grand cherokee, for the first few miles i was moving the wheel side to side because of my habit with the wrangler to keep it in line. Really appreciate driving other cars at this time. My wrangler is just parked on my driveway.
Verrrrrrrrrrrrry interesting.Anyone else catch that the Mohave Gladiator has a cast iron steering gearbox. Things that make you go Hmm...!
Looks like the investigation is being taken seriously by NHTSA, they had this PDF uploaded to the investigation....asking FCA for everything to do with Welds/Steering/wobble/lockup.Yeah, I’m not sure what the deal is. NHTSA is looking into it as well, the article I read brings poor welds into the steering investigation. My track bar welds looked ok according to the dealership, but there are other welds in mine that look a bit dicey. Like a misaligned part could be causing issues with the steering. That being said the word “alleged” steering issues was in that article.
I’m still working with FCA to get my problems sorted out. The holidays put me in a holding pattern the past couple of weeks.
I wish those who keep saying it’s just a Jeep thing would read this letter. Great letter.Looks like the investigation is being taken seriously by NHTSA, they had this PDF uploaded to the investigation....asking FCA for everything to do with Welds/Steering/wobble/lockup.
Not sure how long this stuff takes but I’d hate to be the guy that would have to put that report together.

Very interesting. You should post this info in the other steering threads as well especially the one that says loose steering is a normal thing. Out of curiosity, does anyone know how many steering complaints have been reported to the NHTSA for the JL vs how many steering complaints for the JK? Then compare the amount of complaints vs how many sold to get a percentage? Since JKs and JLs were both sold in 2018, maybe use 2017 vs 2019 data?Looks like the investigation is being taken seriously by NHTSA, they had this PDF uploaded to the investigation....asking FCA for everything to do with Welds/Steering/wobble/lockup.

Where did you see this? I read about cast iron steering knuckles, but nothing about a gearbox.Anyone else catch that the Mohave Gladiator has a cast iron steering gearbox. Things that make you go Hmm...!
