Will the 1/4" longer LCAs really improve the wandering issue?

If you are worried about warranty then don't do anything aftermarket. Push the dealer to solve the problem. As soon as you introduce anything 3rd party into the suspension/steering FCA has the excuse they need to ignore you.

The nice thing with the longer Mopar LCA is they look identical and the dealer is not likely to realize they are different.

In fact these longer arms come standard on the JT Rubicon from the factory.
The 2019 JLs now come with the longer LCAs. I'm not sure at what build date this started, so some 2019s have the longer LCAs and some don't.

Not sure where this rumor started but a buddy of mine just got a 2019 Rubicon last week with a recent build date and it DOES NOT have the longer LCAs.

I'm not sure which thread I read that on. Maybe they meant the stock height Gladiator has the longer control arms?

I read recently, on this forum or another, that it was the Gladiator Rubicon that was getting the longer LCA from the factory. Not JLs...

You left out 2018 JD Powers survey ranks FCA/Jeep customer service #1 for 4 years in a row and JL steering boxes are made in Texas and made out of steel.

I agree with Brosef 100% in my case. I have a 2018 JLU Rubicon..It wandered all over the freeway stock and was the same with lift and 37’s. Mine came from the factory with low caster-near 4 degrees I took it to two different dealerships-no help/clueless. Put some Rough Country front lower adjustable control arms on and got caster slightly over 6 degrees. It drive straight as an arrow and steering is much tighter. DAY & NIGHT difference.

How are you liking these control arms? I’ve got a set on its way but I’ve been reading that the bushing don’t last.
