After a few trips to the trails, I have noticed on my 08 JK that the steering is all outta wack, have fixed it many times, but the problem keeps coming back, does anyone know of a way to fix this so I dont have to fix this problem every time I go to the trails? Yes there is a lift, yes I have larger tires/wheels...Help PLEASE!!!!

 

When you say "Steering is outta whack", what exactly is out of whack? What was fixed? What problem keeps coming back? More info would be helpful.

 

Check ur drag link and tie rod bar for play or bent. Oddly enough I just discovered my drag link bent in two spots and the knuckle end loose today.. It's prob been bent for a month or so.. I been chasing a problem n that was it... Made the clunky steering a lot less too..

 

Steerling wheel is off center, dummy lights turn on, have to turn the steering wheel around more then i should have to just to make a normal turn, i was not sure if a skid plate would help or not

 

Re center ur steering wheel with the adjustder sleeve on the drag link. Check it for damage also

 

i just had the tie rod and drag link replaced about a month or so ago, i hope thats not the problem, i dont feel like replaceing them both again,,lol

 

thats how i fixed it the first time, the second time was the drag link and the tie rod had to be replaced, is there anything i can do to prevent this besides stay off the trails? lol

 

It might not be ur problem but u should check them both, as well as the track bar.

 

ok cool, thanks, i may be mistaking but i think i saw a skid plate to protect the steering( tie rods, adjuster sleeve, drag link) i am not sure dose anyone know if they have those, if so where and how much, if not anyone wanna help me make one,,,,lol

 

Somebody here on the forum ended up having lots of problems with his steering and it ended up being his steering box. He ended up replacing it with a heavy duty after market box.....I guess they do make them. You'll have to do a search as I don't know who it was. Maybe he'll see this and let you know....
