I guess the question is what have they checked? Alignment, wheel balance, all front end bolt torque? all need to be correct or problems occur. If you have slop in steering you may also have a steering box needing replacement like so many others have had to do.
On 2/27/19 I had the SS replaced at the dealer with the Rough Country made unit the dealer ordered from the aftermarket vendor. No change. The wobble is minimal, but not gone. As I said on my other posts, the biggest impact made to improve the wobble was when the dealer replaced the track bar. A new OEM SS (three of them) would take care of the minor wobble for about 100 miles and the wobble would come back, but just not as violent as before the track bar was replaced. The Rough Country SS install now has a little wobble after going over a bump above 60mph, but I have only put about 10 miles on it to know if it will remain the same or deteriorate with time or miles. The vehicle is drivable so that is an improvement from when I had the very severe wobble. But it is not completely fixed. I think I will take it from here on my own. Jeep had failed to address it and the fact that a company would agree to purchase a part form the aftermarket on my recommendation to solve this issue tell me that my dealer wants to do what they can to please me, but Jeep has no real solution to implement and is leaving the dealers and customers to fend for themselves.
Big difference between a recall and tsb. There are already tabs out there for steering concerns. And if they actually did a recall it wouldn't cover any vehicle that has already been modified with other steering and suspension components.
The factory stuff is ridiculously undersized when compared to the yeti. My DW is 100% corrected. Shimmy is gone as well. I canāt recommend their stuff enough. If everything checks out with suspension components and things are installed correctly but you still have DW this stuff can make a huge difference.
Yes, itās actually hollow.
Read another poster that had Yeti and Metalcloak parts and didn't help him. No one has an all-in-one solution.
Thatās why I have been very careful to not state or imply this isnāt a guaranteed fix. I had a MC track bar. Itās sitting on my shop bench. Nothing wrong with it but when I switched to yeti I wanted to have everything match. I sell someone local my MC track bar thatās having issues with they factory one or needing an adjustable one for a great deal.
No. Itās still at 6.5/6.8. I put it on the lift yesterday because I noticed the shimmy was getting worse. Pulled the tires off an retorqued everything and installed the decorative caps. This is perfect now. The tie rod and drag link end had loosened slightly. The clamps were a bit loose after the alignment. Everything is tight and right. Iāll drive it a week and check it again but Iām sure itāll be good now.
Hi @Wrangler-NS,
Will do. I'm going to the dealer this week and will report back what comes of it.
