So not new to jeeps, DD 93 yj for a while now its just a toy, however new to the steering gear saga. Give me some thoughts/opinions on the timeline of events.

-Bought my Max Tow 6/6/20 and couldn't be happier... I think (no noticeable drift on the 3 hr ride home)
- Mid September on my daily commute to work hit the expansion joint on the bridge going highway speed... INSTANT driveline vibrations had to come to a complete stop
-A few weeks later same bridge, same joint, same result
- At this point I have noticed some slight pull to the right
- 11/3 had first oil change at 5xxx miles TSB parts ordered to be in 11/11 ( inspection checked out)
- 11/10 & 11/12 on my commute home from work going highway speed here comes an overpass and again going over the expansion joint caused some serious vibration only resolved by coming to a complete stop

So here we are today, I got the call my parts are in for the TSB are in , I drop her off tomorrow at 1.
Anything else I should look into? or wait and see the results? All stock suspension/driveline components.

Thanks

Nick

This text is from the TSB for the steering box, so I expect you have additional issues:
" NOTE: This Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) repair will NOT correct a sustained steering shake, shimmy or vibration. Video aid has been developed for this issue. Refer to the detailed service procedures available in DealerConnect> Service Library under: Service Info>19 - Steering / Linkage / Damper, Steering /Removal and Installation."

Thanks I’m interested in their response. I’m apparently one of the few who’s parts have came in.
