I kinda waited a while to get this done. Although it did wander at highway speeds and the imprecise steering was something I probably have accepted after 20K of driving.
That being said, the Jeep is noticeably better now in both handling and overall driving experience. This should be an immediate consideration before doing any other suspension or steering mods. I run 37 inch tires and it seems to me that this new steering box doesn't bind at all, at least on the street. Don't have a trail opinion yet. I was really considering a hydraulic/ram assist system but may have second thoughts about that until I can see how it does on rocks.
Not bad for a factory recall item/upgrade. I would recommend it to anyone that qualifies for it - it really should have been this way from the factory.
