Ok so I have been going through TONS of threads trying to find a fix to my steering problem. However nothing seems to be the exact fit. I'm hoping to get some advice from folks that are steering a suspension bad asses

So hers my problem:
My steering isn't horrible, I get slight bump steer, and no death wobble, but at anything over 40mph or hwy speeds it seems I need to move the steering wheel more than I should to make directional adjustments. And it takes a lot of steering to keep it straight and in the lane. All the tie rod ends are new, and it's aligned
When the jeep is parked and I look at the steering box while having someone turn the wheel I see the frame and steering box twist

My rig :
2008 jku, teraflex long arm pre runner kit, 35 inch tiers, currie heavy duty tie rod and drag link kit, terra 44 axel housing ( it's the bad ass beefy axel housing that you put all your stock guts in I bent the stock axel housing........ yes the housing ..... Driving off a cliff well doing it 10 or 12 times) all other steering components are stock.

My question is how do I tighten up the steering so it's not so much work to steer on the hwy. do I need a drag link flip or a sector shaft brace. Or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!!!

 

You don't like the steering and you're aware that your stock box has taken some substantial damage? Have you considered getting your box fixed up for hydro steering?? That should clean up your steering and ease the stress on the box......particularly if you are hard on it routinely.

I'm no suspension or steering bad ass, but I'll try to help! I did some research to, and a steering stabilizer is all you need to give yourself that tight, race car like steering. You can get the TeaFlex steering stabilizer for about $60 on quadratec. You may already know all of this, but I just wanted to help! I just bought a teraflex lift and stabilizer.

 

Pretty sure that is going to mask the problem and cause damage to other areas of your front end.

 

Double check correct caster angle with adjustable lower control arms in the front, and double check the toe in. Low tire air pressure. Those are the easiest and first places to start looking I would think. All three could cause the wandering and over correcting problem.

 

If you have sloppy steering you can tighten up the worm gear in the steering box slightly. Did this in a buddy's 09 jk and we were both shocked at the improvement.

 

A steering stabilizer is not going to fix his problems. This is poor advice.

 

^^^ What he said ^^^

 

Then I'm glad someone gave him the correct advice. I'm new to this, just trying to help. I also didn't read the post in it's fulness as I should've. I stopped, mentally, where he said his steering felt uneasy, and I thought that's what the stabilizer helped with. I was eager to post my first response. My mistake.

 

Check your caster angle...if its off you can get bump steer and wandering.

If you lifted and did track bar raised mount and didn't do flip steering this could also cause a little issue.
