?? I thought the TSB was for an entire new steering box. The link is for a brace. It may help fix the wandering but I dont think its a full replacement. I could be wrong.
Yeah, you're right. Like I said, this is an aftermarket band-aid, akin to what they wanted me to do with the track bar. This is the closest thing that I have found to an aftermarket solution, from a youtube channel called JKgearandgadgets. I think even if you buy this brace you have to buy another part to go onto the steering box. I could be wrong, I didn't do much more research after I saw the initial $250 price.
It's about $600 for parts.
Grapevine is the next dealership I visit. I'll shoot you a message telling you how it goes. I am hoping I hear back from jeep so I can waste as little time as possible trying to make my 45K vehicle drivable.
With that kinda rig they better hook you up. It makes me sick that I bought this truck a month ago, saved for two years to pay for it, and I can't get any help from the company that sold it to me.I’m going to swing my by the local dealer to see what they say. I’m running 37’s, Synergy 3” springs, front and rear track bars, lower control arms, etc. I just plan to lay it out there and just request the new steel steering box. Then I’ll install my Synergy brace. It currently handles pretty well and I noticed the most difference with the new lowers, trackbars, and falcon shocks. I’d just rather have the steel box...
I hear you. I fell that regardless of the JT they should swap out the aluminum steering box for the updated steel one. It’s just good customer service. I mean it’s a $600 swap for FCA, geez...
they claim they get paid, but at a decreased preagreed rate. So if they are busy and have lots of work they will put you off to the back burner.
That is true. My dad was a dealership mechanic for 50 some years. They are paid by a rate booking. If the book says it takes 4 hours the mechanic is paid for 4 hours and the dealership is paid 4 hours, regardless if it takes 2 or 12 hours to do the job.
