What I mean to say is... If the steering box IS the real issue, would it be too late for this thing to correct it?
Let me try again..
Is this made to correct it ---OR--- prevent this from happening in the first place?

I found this, but now they lost me with the technical terms and ratios and shit. Anyone know which one I need?

I guess I can just call, I don't see prices listed anyway... which is usually a bad thing. But hey, when I order the filet off the menu with no price listed it's usually fantastic.. until the bill comes

Not sure who your referring to but what I wrote tightens up the worm gear inside the steering box so it doesn't feel like its going all over the road. If I'm wrong please someone else chime in.

so i had this problem a couple of times already, what i did was have my wife start the jeep sit in the drivers seat and turn the wheel back and forth not all the way but turn right and left 180 deg. i started by looking at the pitman arm where it connects to the steering shaft one time i noticed the pitman arm moved up while it was being turn. the pitman arm had broken teeth on it and i replaced and fixed it. couple of weeks later same problem same thing wife sits in jeep turns wheel pitman arm was good, tie rod end good but the track bar was loose, tightened it and bam problem fixed. another time it was a front lower control arm. but it sound like to me some thing is loose and you just nned to re torque it down easy fix once you find it.

I had and still have this problem on my TJ. Several shops have said I was crazy when describing this and said it was "normal"
Now my son has the TJ, and he is always bitching about the play in the steering wheel. My JK doesnt have it, but would love to see what anyone comes up with.
