steering

Hey guys. Most of the time I see steering gear issues it’s related to leaking. Well so far I don’t have any leaks, but damn do I have a lot of slop (see video). I adjusted the lash and it did not fix the problem. Is this steering gear gone? The u-joints are brand new MOPAR, and the play is at...

Hello all, I used a trailer yesterday for the first time with my 06 TJ. I have never experienced any wobble or death wobble symptoms before and can usually even go 75 on the highway with steering holding true and no issues at all. Yesterday on the way out to Home Depot with the trailer I had...

SOS I’m replacing the sway bar links and drivers inner tie rod end and left outer. I want to replace the pitman arm and drag link as well since I’m having a creaking issue when turning slowly and the steering wheel is a bit loose/crooked. But not sure if this is a good idea? Or even necessary...

Today I noticed some unusual wear on my driver side hub. The u joint seems to be running on the collar during turns I thinking. I haven’t ripped anything apart...Yet, but I’m wondering if it’s simply a u joint issue or something more. I have been rolling around without a front drive shaft for a...

So been reading a lot of different threads lately (big thanks to everyone who contributes regularly). I've been having issues with front end vibrations. Not the DW, but a violent up and down shake between 34-45 MPH - only on acceleration. Let off and it rolls smooth. Braking has no issues. But...

I have a 03 TJ with a 4 in suspension and 3 in body lift. My upper u joint slipped off on a trail ride the other day and i am going to replace it asap. Do I need a longer shaft or can I get an OEM replacement?

Came out my 06 @ approx 70k miles. Was in good working condition when removed. I upgraded to a PSC unit.

Hey guys! I have a situation where I bought my TJ and had the whole death wobble situation so I thought going with a HEIM steering kit would help and it did not if anything made it worse. So I want to go back to OEM but I have a limited amount of money. The HEIM steering kit has 5/8 bolts so I...

Ok while putting the front end back together after doing the u joints and ball joints I went to attach my drag link and the stud was turning with the nut. Soo I needed to replace the drag link.. what I discovered was the PO installed a beefier one than stock and that meant I needed a new...

I recently noticed when backing out of my driveway a little resistance with a grinding noise when turning the wheel. I’ve identified the best I can that it’s not coming from the engine bay. The sound is coming from the steering column. If straight ahead the wheel is at 12:00 on a dial, the...

I bought the "Cure" for my stock steering and never installed it. I replaced my stock tie rod and drag link with Currie items. It cost me $19 plus $9.50 shipping. Will ship to you in CONUS for $14. Contact through this website please. https://www.ruffstuffspecialties.com/catalog/merchant.mvc?

When i bought my jeep it would pull left and right constantly and with great gusto. I swapped out the track bar and then i put on Currie Correctlync steering. i have also now put on Currie control arms. every step of the way has reduced the amount of pulling a great deal and significantly...

Hello all, New to the forum, new to TJ's, made the switch from a long-term relationship with XJ's and finally decided it was time. I found this jeep and immediately called on it and ended up bringing it home. So a few things that I have to deal with are: Tcase drop and no SYE Dana 30 LP...

Happy holidays all! While I was headed to my cousins last night I hit a pot hole and experienced my first death wobble... holy crap was that scary! I pulled off the road to check it all out really quick and that’s when I got my first Christmas surprise lol. The track bar snapped! I have a...

For a long time now (1+ years), my steering wheel makes a squeaking noise when it's cold. The sound is from inside the car, not outside. It happens less when it's warmer. I haven't really tried to debug where it is yet, but I thought I'd ping here in case someone knows the answer already...

After searching online for a definitive answer on dropped pitman arms with the Currie Currectlync I’m more confused than when I started. I know that the track bar and drag link should be parallel to get rid of bumpsteer but with my current set up I don’t get any bumpsteer at all. Unfortunately...

So I’m sure there’s forums on here about this but oh well. My problem is that when I’m driving around 45 or 50 and lightly turn the wheel, the steering wheel wobbles. It also does it while I brake from about that speed. Any ideas on what this may be? I just installed new shocks and got an...

So recently, my Jeep has been riding really rough. I have had other people in the car say that it feels fine so my thoughts is something is a little off in the steering shaft. I read that you can replace the steering shaft bushing and that helps but I am wondering what else could be going wrong...

I have an 05 Rubicon TJ that has a clunk feeling in the steering. I have narrowed the culprit to the slip joint on the upper steering shaft located at the fire wall. My question, can I drill and tap a set screw in the slip joint, or is this joint meant to be telescopic to make up for movements...

I just bought a 97 TJ 4.0L 5 speed. It has a 2.5" skyjacker lift, 33"s and J&J heavy duty steering stabilizer, all done by the previous owner. When driving around, there is a pretty big dead spot in the steering from approximately 10:30pm to 1pm, which results in a lot of wandering on the...
