Thinking of rebuilding the steering system, any input?

[Psycho Squirrel]

I’ve had the new steering box installed via the TSB, had death wobble twice. Dealership replaced the stabilizer, one tie rod end, pitman arm and the drag link. Steering still sucks, wanders, dead spot and so on. Has anyone actually gone full aftermarket with the steering system? What did you do? What parts, brands etc?

Bump? Anyone?

has everything been retorqued? Was death wobble after the TSB? What is it on the same section of road? If not what circumstances dis you experience the dw?

Do you have a lift or still stock height?

I personally have not retorqued anything myself...yet. DW was after the steering box TSB upgrade. 2” leveling spacer in the front.

To be clear, I have only had a hint of DW one time on an overpass in a turn since the fixes.


I’m just not happy with the way that it handles, that’s why I’m thinking of a rebuild. Never had steering this bad in my JK or XJ.
