I have the AD box, it sucks.Did you ever change to the new -AD steering box? I think you mentioned you had it ordered but waiting on having it installed, but I'm not sure.

No, ever since I "I" tightened up my steering components, my steering has been a lot better.Did you ever change to the new -AD steering box? I think you mentioned you had it ordered but waiting on having it installed, but I'm not sure.
Do you have a way to contact the FCA engineers that you visited with to ping them for an update? My JL steering is fixed, but there is a lot of people out there still waiting for an official fix.No, ever since I "I" tightened up my steering components, my steering has been a lot better.
Many more reports of death wobble at 70mph being reported in the other thread. Loose steering, steering lock up and now death wobble. Jeep just can’t win. What about the 3.9 million miles of testing? Oh, I guess those 3.9 million miles didn’t include actual production parts.Wow!!! I just noticed this as well. I have not heard anything from the Engineers from FCA even though I was told within a week I would get a call. I think they are about to release some information about the steering issue. I am just waiting now before posting an updated video myself.
What exactly did the dealer do with regard to "they adjusted my gear box 3/16" ? ThanksWell I took my Jeep JL to the dealer yesterday and talked to them about my loose steering showed them this thread and they adjusted my gear box 3/16 and the difference is night and day. They gave me no problems at all, I gave the mechanic the link to this thread and 5 hours later they called me and said it was fixed....no charge!!! I have to say I did not think they would do it and surprisingly they gave me absolutely no problem and we’re willing to even read something off a forum. I’m shocked and now my JL drives better then when I drove it off their lot.
They tightened it 3/16 of inch just like the guy in the video that now is deleted.What exactly did the dealer do with regard to "they adjusted my gear box 3/16" ? Thanks
I imagine they rotated the set screw 3/16 of a turn (about 67 degrees) from the original setting which tightens up the gear lash.They tightened it 3/16 of inch just like the guy in the video that now is deleted.

See post # 2127 , above yours , referencing marino cjr in Chicago , which fixed his steering based on ideas from this forum . Have your dealer service manager call the marino cjr service manager .I have a jl with 1,000 miles on it and I feel like the steering is very loose when at center. My dealer service manager told me “it’s an off road vehicle it’s not gonna drive like a car” . I accepted that answer being as this is my first Wrangler but I’ve been looking into it and it does seem like there is a steering problem with the jl . Why try to cover it up ? Just help us fix it .
Print and hand this to that service manager. This should help. https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...has-play-and-drifts.3691/page-142#post-426243I have a jl with 1,000 miles on it and I feel like the steering is very loose when at center.
