Update:

I have another identical 2011 JK as wel as a 2013 JKU(all are used for rentals ~10 weeks per year). The other 2011 was about ready to go as well. The end link could barely move at all. Almost completely seized up. The 2013 looks okay but it has half the miles of the other two.

 

I was at dunkin donuts and 3 older men came running out to me to tell me not 2 drive my POS jeep. I said why???? There's a long looks plastic black piece with like a big hole at the end. He said that if I drive I will very well lose my steering and I needed to bolt it back up and it's veryyyyyyy dangerous to drive. I did anyways bcuz I don't have 250$ to have it towed literally less than half a mile. So I don't know what it is called? Maybe a steering arm?? It's kinda near the tire. He said it could hit the tire or something. They scared me so bad!!!! I don't have a man around right now it's just me and my 7 yr old son. I ended up with the jeep due to my mom suddenly dying and not putting my car in my name instead of hers. So needless to say bye bye Chrysler 200 L. What do I do. Can i drive it to advanced auto??

 

NinaGirl, first take a deep breath and chill....... think clearly. Driving to advance auto will do no good as they will not work on your jeep. They might point out your issue but it just means you will need to drive to another shop to have it fixed. I would not move the jeep again until you can find someone to check and see if it would be safe enough to drive to repair shop. Maybe call a mobile mechanic to come over and check it out. You may not have money for a tow but you will need money to replace any bad parts for sure. Sounds like a TRE issue on the drag link or possibly the track bar. When you drove home did the jeep wander all over the road? how much looseness did you feel in the steering?

 

Pictures, pictures, pictures please. we need to see what we're dealing with.

 

Drag link TRE. Its a wearable part. Get a greaseable replacement and check at every oil change. And Yes ditch the Steering stabilizer. You will feel issues before they are real issues...
