  1. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I drove an old ARmy Surplus Jeep one summer for work. I can assure you it didn't steer as well as our JLU. I understand how you felt. Talking to neighbours with new JLU's the men say it's fine. The women have all said that it's steering is scary. One said she wouldn't drive it on the highway...

  3. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Great post. Jeep Wrangler is a cult vehicle. Part of it's charm, and reason for many sales is that Owners can modify the Jeep. I'm glad they left your parts in place. Looking back, when this is all done, we'll know it was just an Obstacle and we overcame it.
  4. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Handed the dealer a TSB with notes and highlights on it. Long story short, they said no. Went home and watched the video from the dash cam. Found out and called FCA Jeep Canadian Customer Care. Enough said. Another dealer has ordered the parts. I appreciate that Jeep is finally doing...
  5. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Good video. It's not for death wobble. JeepCares will help; they helped me. However, first dealer wouldn't order the parts. Second dealer did.
  6. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Our second dealer ordered the parts for our Wrangler. Expect notice soon when they will be in. It's different in Canada. FCA Jeep Canadian Customer Care says the jeep must be seen by a dealer; the Service Manager has the say. FCA CCC will not authorize the work themselves. However, they were...

    Second dealer was much better. Let's see how it goes. Parts are ordered!
  8. Steering Issue with your JT- some info for you

    Good to see this post. Old memory. Friend bought a K5 Blazer (or Jimmy; can't remember) back in the day. Lots of problems. He measured the wheel base, both sides. It was 1-1/4" longer on one side than the other. Right out of the factory. He kept that truck until it was all rust....
  9. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I bought a Ford F100 new back in '75. Needed an alignment. I watched. Mechanic used a torch for a long time! Twin I-beam front suspension if I remember right. He also had a big bottle of rye that was about 2/3 gone at 1:00 pm.
  10. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Thanks Jay! Reality may be a little different than how the TSB reads. Jeep Canada Customer Care says dealer has to review and report to FCA that repair is required before parts are ordered.
  11. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    Did that. Dealer said no. Said they compared our vehicle to one in stock. They were the same. (Our dash cam shows that the tech took a 6 minute test drive; parking lot; smooth city streets. Speed never over 70 because he hit that once.) Wish he had gone to a drive-through car wash. Would have...
  12. Thanks JeepCares

    Thanks for responding to requests for help. I sent a PM to JeepCares after the dealer didn't help. Dealer: We had booked a service appointment. Last monday. Told service that our Jeep wanders, has a dead spot on centre; steering is vague, and it darts left if there are bumps...We had given...
  13. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    In the TSB they say that the dealer will do the work if a customers says they have the symptoms described. I'm looking forward to having the work done. Just have a dealer with a bad attitude. Sign on the building says, "New Management. New Attitude" New owners there....
  14. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    https://www.allpar.com/corporate/factories/brampton.html Here's a correction. It's large sedan construction; only started as a Jeep plant. You're right. Thank you!
  15. New JT Gladiator Steering Issue TSB 08-074-20 (for "Improved Steering Feel")

    I hope that's not the case. Surely the issue is the same here in Canada as it is in the U.S. After all Wranglers are built in a factory in Brampton Ontario and shipped to the U.S. The T.S.B. would apply to those Wranglers in the US...so the TSB should apply and work for us in Canada too.
  16. Steering issue?

    We need a new plate. WANDERER Took the t.s.b. to our dealer's service. We reported steering issues from first day... They had the Wrangler all day. Said it's fine. Now that JEEP has confirmed what we've known, just need the dealers to be in line.
  17. Bad steering box 68418449AE

    Good post.... I have great respect for good mechanics that listen, and hear what's said. Wasted time with a service appointment today. Took in the JLU and the t.s.b. They had the Wrangler all day. This was the selling dealer. . At the end of the day they had done nothing. They Said it's...
