I unfortunately did not have the same luck. I installed the Yeti track bar along with TeraFlex stabilizer, new gear box (not the one that was released 2 weeks ago) and adjustable LCA's and I'm still getting the wondering on the highway. Not sure what to do next at this point
That sucks, Jim. I hate to suggest throwing more money at a problem not knowing what its origin is, but if I were in your situation, I would probably replace the two other major steering components in turn, if necessary. Assuming you've made sure all related bolts are properly torqued, I'd start with a Yeti or other beefy tie rod assembly and, if that doesn't do the trick, their drag link next. Good luck, amigo.

PS- Regarding you measuring to see if your tires are centered under your body, you can use your shock or shock mount, but measure to the outer edge of your tires. Be sure to use the same lug type/shape on both sides.

Yesterday I installed a Rough Country relocation spare tire plate. Good quality and serves its purpose well.

Ceramic tint and Air80 on the windshield......it's too damn hot in South Texas!
I don't know what ceramic tint or Air80 is, but they sound impressive! ;)

Ceramic tint is a tint film that has ceramic particles in it. It has shown to be incredible at deflecting heat. Air 80 is a ceramic film that still allows 80% light transmission. It is typically used on the windshield, as it still allows most of the light through staying relatively safe, while still blocking the heat. Unfortunately it is not exactly legal, but most people will not be able to even notice the tint.

Thanks for the explanation, Dusty! Both sound incredible! :like:

Are you on a lift?
No lift, just the stock Rubicon. I did put on 35" tires tho, but the steering was a problem from day one with the OEM tires and rims, so that is absolutely not to blame. If anything, the new rims and tires improved it.

Don't wanna sound like a jerk, (I appreciate all the help I can get) but there are many threads on this forum discussing this issue, so I don't want to keep talking about this problem on the thread. This is a happy thread talking about the good stuff we've done, not a thread to try to resolve an issue.

If you want to help with this steering issues, I've listed several links below.
