| Description of the problem | Play in steering wheel of 0. 75 inch to each side. Jeep tried to fix issue by installing an upgraded track bar, steering damper and intermediate steering column shaft. Issue improved to 0. 75 inches of play to each side from about 1 inch to each side. Steering play mainly noticable at highway speeds over 60 mph. Constant correction is required to stay in lane. Issue is really significant on windy days since over correction is likely. I had a situation passing two trucks in the middle lane and i could hardly manage the turbulence and not hitting one of the trucks. My daughter is not driving the the wrangler since she feels not save. My wife and i getting tired driving really quickly. Jeep has no solution and the dealer says that there is no fix. If i move the steering wheel by . 75 inches the steering column turns , the link to the steering gearbox turns but the output arm of the steering gearbox is not moving. |
