Hello,
So I'm looking to buy a JK Rubicon that's lifted 3.5 inches with 35 inch tires. Apparently the owner has an issue where occasionally the steering will wobble back and forth slightly. After a few seconds this would go away.
When I drove a JK with a similiar lift and 35s, I felt the same issue.
When I had a CJ-7 lifted with 33s, I had this issue. I replaced the tierods and got a heavier duty steering.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what you did to fix it?
Thank you,
Josh

 

Track bar, ball joints , tie rods . All three can give a wobble. But start with the track bar.

 

I had that minor problem when I installed my lift. Found out my installer didn't do it properly and didn't loosen the track bar bolt, and lower control arm bolts when he did it an that made the bushings bind up. Also my Steering stabilizer was leaking. So I loosened it all up, dropped the jeep on the ground, torqued it all up, installed a OEM steering stabilizer off a 2012 with 7 miles on it, and it rides better than stock. I would also inspect bushings on tie rod and track bar as well. Hope this helps! There is a sticky on this that you can read it helped me.
