From what I read there are 2 issues. 1 with electric steering where steering wheel locks or is hard to turn in a curve and 2 front axle vibration from hardware components that seems to have more problems with aftermarket lifts. It is a solid front axle in some case with atleast 2.5” lift and 35s. So not surprised it’s a different feel than other suvs.
I had a problem with my steering locking today on my 2020 Gladiator and veering to the right. 716 miles and the first steering issue that I have had. It was very frightening.

Sorry for your issues. The Bronco looks to have IFS from the pics leaked today (similar to Ranger Raptor Suspension) and I’m glad it’s not going to be SFA. Not having SFA is going to cause quite a stir from many folks on the Bronco forums. My point in posting is that I thought I wanted my next vehicle to have SFA. Now it seems with seemingly very small issues (loose steering box, tire inflation, bushings, loose bolt, weak stabilizer, etc) the steering can be thrown off. I had no steering issues on my TJ that weren’t related to worn parts. I am not a crawler and not paying 50k to wander down the highway as if I am drunk or blind. I am waiting on the JT diesel and if the the issues continue to pop up, I’m going with the Bronco or Ram diesel.
