PLEASE read questions carefully before responding.
This is NOT for the DW/death wobble issue. Let's please keep that a distinct issue because it is a distinct issue with difference causes from the "loose steering" problem some experience.
* Loose steering as if worn steering sector or loose linkage only please.
This is NOT intended for discussion.
Please use the multiple other threads to discuss causes, impact on your vehicle or you, past experiences, etc.
This is only to collect information and only about LOOSE steering or wander with trouble getting it back in line.
I tried to cover and determine who has the loose or wandering steering issue - and whether or not you have owned OTHER solid axle Jeeps such as Wranglers and others - NOT to include Jeep with independent from suspension such as Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Liberty and so on. Those are very different design.
I hope I have the basics covered -
Yes and this is my first solid axle Jeep
Yes and I have owned other solid axle Jeeps and they did this
Yes and I have owned other solid axle Jeeps and they did NOT do this.
No and I have owned other similar Jeeps (meaning with the same axle design)
No and this is my first solid axle Jeep
There are threads all over the place here - multiple - and I'd like to QUANTIFY who has the LOOSE STEERING issue and whether or not it's your first solid axle Jeep or not (because some claim they ALL do it to some extent)
I also want to see numbers. People with problems with an item are more likely to hit the web and complain about said problems so this is not scientific since it will include only forum members - not a representative crowd here as this is but a small subset of all Jeep JT owners and a smaller subset of Jeep owners overall.
