Yep!I've been keeping a close eye on this thread, and while i'm not a JL owner currently it's something I would love to trade my JK in for, however these issues have me weary. My theory is that there are two issues at play here, each with different causes. Some owners likely have one of the two issues, while others have both. This is making it more difficult for both owners and dealerships to diagnose.
My theory is as follows
Steering wheel play/loose steering
*Steering gear box out of spec
*Loose suspension components
*Poor QC on suspension parts
Wandering
* Caster - mounting brackets for LCAs out of spec on either the frame or axle end causing caster to be out of spec from factory
* Bad track bar bushings
* For those lucky enough with both issues, the play in steering gear box exaggerates wandering issue
I've read some instances where the Jeep wanders, but the steering wheel feels tight. Others have loose steering but no wander. Some have both, which is the nightmare scenario.
I'm not sure if this helps anyone, but I think it is helpful to consider these issues exclusive to each other and that some drivers simply have both issues.
