Up until this new steering box TSB, a Fox ATS 16 way adjustable on 14 stiffness steering stabilizer, beefier front track bar (and rear track bar, which actually helped steering due to better rear tracking) and adjustable front lower control arms.

The adjustable front lower control arms were a huge factor achieving 6.5 caster. Not to mention the non-binding joints which helped with bump steer.

I now have all eight adjustable control arms.. aftermarket control arms are HUGE.. the stock ones are like 12oz coke can light.. no comparison. This is what stabilizes your axles, heavy tires, and steering.

Yes they can, plenty of people on this forum have installed them on their stock Rubicons to help with the wandering.

The wandering is due to the lower caster angle which FCA deems to be acceptable for the Rubicon model (somewhere in the 4.5 - 4.8 degree range). The stock Rubicon front LCA's are the same as all other models, but the Rubicon is 1.5" higher than those, which leads to Rubicon owners complaining of wandering more than Sport/Sahara owners. Wandering at higher speeds is indicative of low caster angles.

The addition of the Mopar LCA's will get your caster into a much more comfortable range of 6 - 6.5 degrees.

Yes it did help.
I installed them on a factory Rubicon and have had them on for a few months. No issues. Granted I bought it in May and just hit 1600 miles.
