So i have had mine in for about 400 miles now, and i can say this has definitely improved the steering on my JLUR, and i am offering kudos to Juneks in Spearfish SD, their service department and service manager are Top Notch, they have given me great service and the techs are very good ... @jeepwave please take note of this ...
Just a heads up, but the account you tagged trying to tag Jeep Wave program isn't actually associated with them on this forum. Hard to believe that the handle was available when I joined last year but it was. Sorry, but I can't help you on your issue there!

Thanks Darlene, I have had a case open for two years to no avail. I was now told the backorder situation is worse and they have no idea when they can get the parts in. This is after I had the parts ordered, told they were coming in, scheduled an appointment for replacement, arrived at my appointment for the service advisor and parts department having no record of this (BS). THEN, they need further work and evaluation to determine whether they will even do the TSB (WTF after a long history 2+ years?). They have finally agreed to do the TSB after another appointment to validate/waste my time but cannot get the parts for weeks/months with an unknown ETA...shocking....I find it ironic that my warranty will be expiring soon and FCA have yet to fix a systemic issue occurring since day one.

At this point, the only assistance I think you could provide is to get the parts to Rairdons Jeep of Kirkland WA ASAP allocated for my Jeep, otherwise its just lip service.

Cheers

My steering has been an ongoing problem since new (2018 JLUS) with a high speed wobble (repaired/bandaged) with the new stabilizer. It would sometimes pull to the right, but not violently, just an agitation that would come and go, which was worrisome to me. Finally it started locking up when turning left. Not good. Just got it back today with the new steering box. Like night and day! It steers better, with no wandering, no "jitters", no pulling to the right and so far it turns left every time! I'm happy. It's taken months, but the result is great.

The parts finally came in and I had the work done today...the steering is PERFECT now. Only complaint is there is power steering fluid literally everywhere underneath the front of the Jeep...

I had mine replaced end of October. Took about 2.5 weeks to get the part in. Just did a 1500 mile round trip and have to say it is much better. 95% better. Very minor dead spot now. So much happier to not have to correct so much on the highway. Also put on Rubicon suspension and Long Front LCA's at the same time.

I am also on a wait for the new box and have been waiting about6 weeks. @JeepCares how best to send you vin and dealer info? Can you help get us a new box sooner? My dealer just told me Friday their orders had been permanently put on hold/ cancelled so now they have NO eta for me. They think it is due to 2021’s needing all they new gear boxes they can produce.

I’m also waiting for new steering box for my 2018 JLU Sport. Mine isn’t as bad as others reported but I can’t completely trust the Jeep when the steering isn’t perfect and definitely want to address the problem before my warranty runs out. I’m scheduled in Berkeley next week but that date may get pushed out if the part isn’t in. Stay tuned.

@JeepCares I have had this issue from the day I bought my Jeep. I have spent over 2k on steering upgrade components to fix this issue. When the TSB came out, I am out of warranty, and cannot even purchase the part to install myself. Is Jeep willing to assist me in taking care of my Jeep to fix this issue.

Seeing how you work at a dealership, can you confirm the part number for the upgraded steering gear for the 2dr. There seems to be a difference between the wheelbases !?!?
