| Description of the problem | This is in reference a dead spot when the steering wheel is centered and i'm going or trying to go straight on the road. It is noticeable at all times but becomes unstable at 50+mph. It is difficult to drive straight because the steering wheel has play in it before the wheels actually turn. My jlur was lifted at the dealership before delivery using the mopar 2" lift kit. I brought the jeep to the shop and was told i needed an upgraded steering stabilizer because of the lift. They added part number 77072360 at a cost of $461. 80. I have driven the jeep since then and the steering play is still there. A week later i put new tires on my jeep thinking it may help reduce the dead spot condition on the steering but it did nothing, it feels exactly the same. The new tires are 35 x 12. 5 r17. Stock tires were 33. |
