Had mine done today and wow, what a difference. You won't realize how bad the aluminum one is until you drive with the new one. Night and day.
Only downside... have to take it back cause they got the steering wheel off center one tooth

How do you know its off a tooth? Usually its as easy as a drag link adjustment.

Yeah you can fix it that way, but it wouldn't need centered if it was put back with together with the box and wheel centered

I just got word that mine is on order and looking forward to feeling the difference.
I honestly did not even notice how bad it was until we bought another car. Then, after driving in for a few weeks, I could barely keep the Jeep in a straight line.

Worst, is when the Jeep was at full load. It almost seemed to get caught up in a "slappy-wave" back and forth on some stretches of rough h.way.

Is that even possible? I thought there was a flat face on one side to prevent that.

Yeah, I thought most modern vehicles had a "missing spline" or other physical "guide" to prevent steering wheel to be "off." That's what I was told in my only trip to a (Jeep) dealer in the past 20 years--that said it was not a Wrangler/Gladiator/etc.
