Steering does not recenter and has deadspot

[Vinny2002]

I have a 2020 4 Door Rubicon, Skytop - all stock. Jeep drives straight but wheel does not return to center as well from the right as it does returning from the left. Also a little play as you turn to the right versus no play turning to the left. bit of a dead spot when turning to the right. Dealership checked it and said it was in alignment...result sheet showed it to be.. Any ideas? Is this common? Otherwise I don't have an "death wobble" or extreme wandering issues.

I took it in.. They hooked it up and said everything was within alignment?

Looks like it ends with an "AE" 580AE... is that the latest?

yea i think thats the newest one . just making sure to try and help isolate your issue. its not installed backwards is it? Yes, this actually happens.

I'll have to look at the proper install online and then compare! its no a horrible situation. It doesn't wander too bad.. lot better with lower tire pressure. for sure... I've read everything from it needing longer control arms for more caster to a better stabilizer to needing everything.. hard to know whats right.

The larger side of the stabilizer should be to the drivers side correct?

it has a sticker on it that says "front of vehicle" with an arrow but i suspect you have a different issue. i added an aftermarket stabilizer and it helped on mine but it seems like ever jeep is different when it comes to steering.
