Loose steering feels like it has play and drifts

[Merlin28]

Dear Merlin28,

I just came from the work shop with my new steering stabilizer and let me tell you it does help a lot with steering play.

The steering feels stiffer in a good way with a lot less drifting.

Thanks for the info--- I'm going to get one on the way.

Genuinely glad to hear you’re feeling better about your steering... you get an adjustable through shaft? Or standard?9

I have really bad steering drift also. Narrow lanes onHouston highways get dicey lol

I have a TJ on bias ply 37 Iroks and it tracks better than my new Rubi JL. It has hydro assist and still steers better. I noticed my F250 SD 4x4 stock had bad wheel hop over rough roads. I changed the steering stabilizer to a Rancho 7000 and the hop went away. Is an aftermarket SS the fix?

I have the same dead spot, but it’s a Jeep and I’ve owned one before so I expected it.

However, after driving the jeep for a week straight I hopped in my A4 and took it out the highway. I just about jerked it into the other lane as the steering is super sensitive. It’s going to be weird bouncing back and forth between the two.

As for dealing with the Jeeps drifting. I just let her drift and make everyone else move. If someone wants to drive right next to me on an open highway doing 65 and also stay in my blind spot then you’re going to get some love.

Bigger tires and a lift kit. They’ll get out of your way. Worked in Colorado as they use dirt instead of salt for the winter roads. Nobody in their right mind gets behind or next to a truck or Jeep in Colorado or else your windshield is going to get cracked.

Would this be ok to install on Jeeps with stock wheels and suspension or is this only for lifted Jeeps with bigger tires and wheels?

I've put on 500 miles last week. I'm sure my tires are over pressurized, so will check tonight. I have a M/T Rubi. This is my first Jeep. I feel like I'm just over correcting when going hwy speeds. No problems when below 60 mph. This is just something I'll need to get use to I figure. (Unless the road surfaces just suck in MD)

Correct. That's the one.
