Steering Help
Ok, well we got the DW issue fixed, and had the steering wheel centered about a week ago. Now tonight the wife says that when she parks the tire are completely straight the steering wheel off centered. Any ideas what could be the problem. I can't really do anything to it since I am still in Afghanistan, so I have to go by what she says.

Hmm, maybe the collar is loose on the draglink and it got out of center, have it check pronto. Other than that, either they didn't center it or she's been jumping curbs.

I had something similar. Bolt was not torqued properly on the axle side of the trackbar. Over time it will egg out the whole. This would cause my steering wheel not to center when I hit train tracks or turned a corner. It probably makes a popping noise too. Sometimes her steering should be centered and sometimes it will not be centered. Easy fix is to weld a washer in there.

Curb parking won’t be accurate. Have her drive the Jeep down a straight road and check that way. Whenever you straighten out the steering wheel the Jeep needs to be driven a short distance to confirm that it is in fact straight. It’s not uncommon to have to redo it a couple of times before it actually gets straight.

Show her this link / diagram. At least then she will know what parts you are talking about and what to check !
