I'm taking a break from my wiring issues to tackle the steering.
One issue I have had with the jeep since I've had it is the steering seems to " stick" . Meaning if I turn it right or left it doesn't come back to center on it's own. I also constantly have to " adjust" the steering as I go down the road, which has led to a slight play on the steering shaft. also in some instances while trying to adjust the steering from one side to the other i have had times when I have had to slow down because I keep going left to right, right to left to try to get it back to center. A bit concerning sometimes.
I assumed the steering box was worn out at some point and a previous owner may have adjusted the scew on top to tighten up the box. So... I picked up another steering box and was going to replace it today. Only to find a re manufactured sticker on the box that's in my jeep of 2015. You would say that's 10 years old however this jeep was last registered before I bought it in 2015. That would tell me the steering box was replaced the same year it was last registered.
that's what brings me here, could anyone enlighten me before I go through the trouble of changing the steering box if what I am experiencing in my steering could be related to the steering box, or something else with my front end?
