So I went to visit my serv mgr today. We talked about this so called revised steering box that someones brothers uncles cousin was saying might come out soon. I told him I am not waiting for this magic to happen and he agreed. He said he will contact them (star) and if it’s gonna be more than 2...

Has anyone with the unsafe sloppy steering box thought about bringing this issue to their local news station to try and get it out there in the news? Not sure there would be any news crew willing to air something like this, but maybe it’s worth a try. This is just a thought. Let me know what you...

Just letting you guys know before you reply to this. I have the AE version, so that has nothing to do with a fix. I remember reading the whole AE version post/comments a few weeks ago and took a pic of mine.

On a different note, If I buy my own mopar steering box (same p/n as mine) & pay my dealer to replace it, do I then have any legal way of getting all that $ back when it will clearly solve my problem? Also, how am I supposed to know if the “new” one won’t be the same junk I currently have bolted...

Thanx for the vids Shadows I wish my issue was a simple trackbar fastener, unfortunately it’s not. That was one of the first things I checked after psi. Don’t claim you (meaning the guy on FB) fixed all Jeeps or know how to just because in your case you got lucky and it was that simple. Pisses...

I used 2 4foot levels, 1 friend, & a tape measure on level ground. 1/8” toe in on the money.

The air in FL must weigh different than the air up here in NY. That’s your issue. Lmao!

Just wondering how you want me to set the caster on a stock rubi? I got everything else checked.

The toe measures good. Took a while but its freezing out.

Yea. The bumper, or overall weight gains for that matter, have ZERO effects on this issue. PERIOD. Pretty sure the stock bumper was on there when I drove it the first 500 miles.

ok, you got me on the qtech aluminum front bumper which is pretty light. 86lbs minus the stock bumper weight. I also agree with you about alignment rack, that’s why I payed another shop to do what the dealer said they did. Not only do you have to trust the machine, but you have to trust that the...

Bone stock Rubicon and I weight around 200lbs. Btw

Well then, you Sir can tell everyone how to fix this ...... what goes into the steering box doesn’t come out of the steering box, on mine at least (visually verified). Track bar, drag link, etc are all tight and even the tiny bit of frame flex isn’t the issue. You can take the fn tires off the...

This is so aggravating because i’ve had my new 35” KM3’s on new Dirty Life rims a month before I took delivery of my JTR and I haven’t been able to put em on yet (almost 2 months now). I knew on my drive home from the dealer I needed to find a place to store them because I’m not even going to...

YES! My passion exactly. That’s why I get butt-hurt and very defensive if someone tries to tell me “it’s a jeep thing” or similar excuses. I lowered my psi when i left the lot. Chalk test. Had dealer alignment and all steering/suspension components torque checked. Brought to independent shop...

My serv dept gave me every excuse u did until they drove it. U must work at a dealership/serv dept! 100%

I get that there are a lot of stupid ppl out there, but if your trying to say that some of our steering boxes(sector shaft) do not have a problem just because one guy doesn’t know psi, then you my friend are part of the problem. Just sayin

If you have the dead zone in your steering like I do, bring it in as soon as you can so it’s on record. My Service manager told me today he got a response from the star request he put it. They told him that a new version of the steering box & control module update are coming real soon. I’m...

I want to adjust the “non adjustable” adjustment screw on the box myself, but i’m not even taking a lug nut off till the dealer fixes it.

FYI. Took the Glad to an independent local shop this morning. They couldn’t understand why i’m having trouble getting a BRAND NEW jeep fixed at the dealership because it is very obvious that the wheels only start to move after 1-2 inches of dead zone in the steering box/wheel. Temp seems to...
