| Description of the problem | After purchasing my jeep rubicon i notice that the vehicle steering wandered on the highway. I was not able to keep the vehicle straight without it wandering from side to side. To much play in the steering wheel. I had less than 100 miles. I scheduled an appointment with the jeep dealership to have it inspected. The jeep was inspected and i was told they found no problem with it, however i did some research and soon learned that others had been experiencing the the same problem. To fix it one owner took his in to his dealer and they made an adjustment in the steering to a ( -8 ) and it went away, but it made his steering harder to turn. |
