Play in steering

[RocknTom]

Hello, folks. New to this forum. I have a question for some of you.

I just bought a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Sahara 75th Anniversary (see photo) with 25k miles on the odometer. I had the vehicle transported from Mesa, AZ to Hurricane, UT where I live. I took my prize out for about a 10 mile ride to check it out, and noticed the steering has quite a bit of play in it. I don’t think this is normal and so I’m a little concerned. Any thoughts on this? Solutions?

I never owned a JK and I'm sorry I can't be of more help but I would definitely be concerned about death wobble. Did you ever see the movie planes, trains, and automobiles, the scene where John Candy & Steve Martin briefly turn into skeletons. That's basically what happened to me, when I experienced death wobble.

Best of luck with your jeep my friend and welcome to the forum.

You will likely get a better response on a forum dedicated to the JK Wrangler as opposed to the JL Wrangler.
