Wish I can get a brand new 392(issues)

[Petey]

Why are you guys picking me apart? I was asking a concrete question? And I am met with not serious answers and being mean about it?

It will probably take a long time but I would think that they will get to the bottom end of the problem.

Ok, pulls hard right when doing what??, Braking or just taking hands off the steering wheel. There are only a few things that can make a vehicle pull to one side. First is to thoroughly check the disk brakes to see if a rotor is hanging up, if it’s hanging up a lot, that rotor will be the hottest by touch and may even be discolored. Full wheel alignment all four wheels,tracking etc.
Wheels should be checked on a good machine and force balanced.
if it pulls when braking, it could even be the ABS screwing up.

Lose suppression also does this.

You're pretty damn lucky that they could reproduce it and seem to be doing everything possible to track down that squeak. Hopefully resolving that will also deal with the hard pull.

Yet they told me “come get the vehicle, we are at a loss we have done everything” so idk how lucky I am? Unfortunately taking it to another dealer Tuesday. So I will be at 2/3 times taking it to a dealer for lemon law

wheel bearings maybe? A stethoscope would probably indicate where the problem is ... do u know if they tried this?

I do not think they did a stethoscope to be honest.

Well at least they tightened the ball joints .. this should make a noticeable difference. Did it?

Sorry for being ignorant, what would that make for difference wise?

loose suspension components will make ur ride extra squirrelly

I am willing to bet that 35lbs of air will make a dramatic difference folks. Any takers?

It did wonders for my Jeep. It went from driving “squirrelly” as I described it lol to having much more grip on the road.

comfort yes.. does it fix loose sus. problems ? I haven't had that experience

I will have to try that, I doubt that fixes the squeaking though

If you're talking about actual fasteners not being tightened down then air pressure will have little impact BUT, having too much air (a notorious issue with JLs and JTs) will feel like a loose suspension. As @SophieNoel said, it would be very 'squirrely'. Her Jeep felt like it could not track straight at all, and leaned right. We lowered it to 35lbs and all was good.

Think of too much air in a tire like a balloon. Over inflated tires round the contact patch and you have less tire on the road (see pic below). That will have a huge effect on a straight axle truck, even bigger than a passenger car.

That I would have to hear... Can you make a video of that sound? Could be anything without hearing it.

Typically brakes (which were ruled out)
Then bushings
Then Spring mounts
etc...

All can be checked.
