Steering Wanders

[clf1024]

So just received my Jeep JL Sahara Unl. 2019 Wrangler, and I have a little bit of the "steering wandering", I thought the latest bulletin fixed this issue? Just got my Jeep on 4/30. Anyone have this issue on their 2019?

Thanks!

What's your tire PSI? It shouldn't be over 37(they over over inflated by the factory for shipping and the dealer is supposed to adjust) and most here probably run @35 or less. I have mine @32.
Also, if you have never owned a Wrangler or one of it's predecessors: they have always required more hands on driving then your typical "SUV".

I think they are at 41. So I should lower to 37?? When I drive down a main road, I just seem to wander, when holding the wheel straight and centered I seem to wander sometime off to the left and then sometimes off to the right.. So this is normal?

It should not be normal. Try lowering your tire pressure to 35 psi as mentioned. That seems to make a huge difference. Good luck.

Your best bet is to do a Chalk Test: https://www.jlwranglerforums.com/fo...ould-i-run-do-a-chalk-test-to-determine.4622/ to determine the best PSI for your tires.
I run 32 PSI with my JLUR w/ 33" KO2s.

Is there really a "wanders club"?!

My 2018 JLU has done that since day 1.

Each time i take it to the dealer it's too windy for them to test drive.

Lower the tire pressure and swap the fronts side to side - this will help determine if it's radial pull.

Not really, just a lot of people posting here about that same issue.

I have the same issue, she is all over the road around 40 MP/H I am also at 41PSI (from the dealer) I attributed it to the M/T tires I got with the rubicon, but I will have to try to let some air out and see how she tracks
