| Description of the problem | There have been 1000s of people who drive wranglers complain of the steering clunk when driving. When the jeep warms up and the suspension cycles you can feel a thud iin the steering column somewhere. It makes you feel very uneasy and scared not knowing when the steerint shaft will finally go. Most problems result from the lower and upper intermediate shaft being made from 2 separate metals and expanding. Jeep located these near the manifold. The replacement part is always on backorder so jeep must know there's anproblem somewhere. |
