New steering box

[Bobby Boucher]

I've been on the list for the new steering gear since last November.

Called the dealer today and was told that everything is on hold until March 12 !

We had it done, made a great difference! Jeep always felt off since the day we picked it up but it seems like the problem is definitely cured

Have you checked your caster?

The caster measures about 4.5 degrees. From what I am reading it needs to be around 6 to drive like it should.

That is too low and adjustable LCAs would really help. The Mopar lift LCAs gave me 1.3* to 6* On my JLR. I’m much happier with 7* on my JLUR. I used MC LCAs.

Yeah, if you don't plan any additional lift to your Rubicon the Mopar lift LCAs should be on your "must-do" list. Will make a noticeable difference at hwy speeds and unless you're dealing w/ cross winds you should now have stress-free drives on the hwy
I know you mentioned earlier in your thread that you didn't have issues at high speed, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised w/ the difference going from mid 4 to 6 degrees caster.

Yes it helped my wondering a lot on the highway. Get the new steering box and a stiffer steering stabilizer, like the fox 2.0 steering stabilizer. Nice and firm steering after.

Contact Jeep Cares. I was waiting since September and as soon as I contacted Jeep Cares the part was delivered to my dealer within a week.

All of you wandering Jeep’s. The real fix is this simple. You need to add 1/4” longer front lower control arm and your problems will go away. You need a front caster of at least 6 degrees. Mine drives like the Jeep I always wanted.

Will the longer front lower control arm make a difference on a stock 19 Sahaa ?

Your control arm should already be right-sized. Check your camber: search this forum for directions how, and download a free angle finder from the App Store. You are shooting to be at or slightly over 6 percent
