When I brought my JLU home, it was a nightmare to steer. It was like being behind the wheel of a bass boat on a lake during a wind storm. Constant corrections required to maintain a straight line. Just terrible. That was in mid-April 2018.
In mid-June 2018 I had a software flash done to update the calibrations on the Jeep and when I left the dealership it was a brand new vehicle. Could steer with one hand. Felt normal! Has been handling fine ever since!
Unfortunately, during this time frame a lot of guys were getting impatient and were getting their dealers to start replacing hard parts. Steering linkages, steering boxes, etc. And that muddied the water and confused the entire situation. So now, there are 100 different opinions on what the "fix" really is.
