New JL Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

[Markham]

I am seriously contemplating on doing this repair myself.
My dealer have my parts, but they dont have the tool to remove pitman arm.
And from looks of it, most dealer just hammer the pitman arm until it comes off

If my dealer does that I’m gonna be pissed AF.

I wondered about that myself. Should have used a puller?

Should have, yes, or at least used a brass hammer to not tear up the surface of it.

why? The pitman arm is just a solid block of metal. As long as they’re not reinstalling it with a hammer it’s fine.

Dealer called today and parts have finally arrived. Had it in Aug 17th.
Service scheduled for Tuesday so hopefully it’ll finally be right!

I am having a hard time getting this part from my dealership and others have gotten it sooner than I have local. any luck from @JeepCares and response turn around time?

Well, I just booked my evaluation appointment for next week. Wish me luck!
It sure would be great to finally have a Jeep that's safe to drive on the highway.

There’s really no excuse for the dealerships to not have the tool, but a brass hammer isn’t going to damage the pitman arm.

My dealer was having a hard time getting parts, at least that’s what they said. I got Jeep Cares involved. Oddly enough, the day after being assigned a case number by Jeep Cares, my dealer called to tell me the parts were in. Not sure if that was their doing or not, but it sure was awfully coincidental.
