Steering Wander

[pnut]

Brand new 2025, 1st owner and all stock, no aftermarket parts or modifications.

Sounds like you need someone who has driven Jeeps before, to make the judgement if it's normal or something is wrong.

Unfortunately, the excessive wandering is what got me out of Jeeps. My new to me then ,2021 Rubicon unlimited was my dream Jeep and my third Jeep. I ordered it loaded exactly how I wanted it. It didn't last a year, New steering box, alignments, new lower control arms installed by local jeep expert, played with tire pressures. Nothing worked. It was so bad , I could not drive it on the interstate and have not owned a jeep since.

They've made a lot of improvements since the 2021. While not perfect, I do not think about it in our 2024 like I did in our 2018 before I got it rectified once and for all. Totally understand where you're coming from, as it's just annoying, but it can be fixed by people who know what to do. It does cost extra, though, which should not be required.

Yup, we had a slight issue on our 18‘ and our dealer fixed it right the first time. Never had any more issues. My new 25’ drives incredibly great. As a matter of fact it drives it drives better than our 20’ CRV.

you should not need to constantly correct anything. i would not consider that acceptable.

my '21 (late 2020 build date) has never wandered, and drives true almost 60K miles later.
it had a Mopar "2-inch" lift on it almost immediately which morphed into a combination of Fox and Teraflex parts with a Synergy Front Track Bar/Sector Shaft Brace and Dynatrac ball joints. it's had several different sets of tires on it (35 & 37") and even with Antirocks does not require any steering correction while driving.

p.s.:
if you no longer have any J**ps, you might want to update your Sig File; it shows you have 2.
i'm not going to ask why you're still here; you obviously miss something about them!

I do miss owning a jeep. I came here to see if Jeep had fixed the wandering issue, Guess I got my answer! I was considering buying another one but will pass for now.

Does your Jeep have the 35” tire package? Wider tires will indeed wander more than a narrower tire.
