Warning JK Jeeps with steering box problems!
My wife has a 2008 JK and the steering is all over the place, so. U h so that it is very difficult to drive on the highway. In comparison, my wife's best friend has a newer JK with a newer steering box and the steering is tight and the jeep is easy to drive. I added a steering stabilizer and made other modifications to my wife's jeep but nothing worked. I even spoke with a few industry folks at the annual jeep Beach event in Daytona and they all commented on the need to purchase various suspension upgrades, but I already have all the upgrades. In the end it's was the steering box!
I have done some research on the jeep forums including this one and this is a very common problem. My suggestion is that you either replace the steering box at a cost of about $700 plus dollars or have it rebuilt by a shop that specializes in steering components. Rebuilding the box is the way to go for me, I recommend Car steering 235 west 75 pl hialeah fl 33014, they have 35 years rebuilding steering parts and their number is 305 883-8223. Ask for Carlos Cabrera, his email is chcabrera@msn.com.
