My steering isn't smooth anymore. While turning at speeds below 15 miles per hour my steering wheel doesn't feel smooth returning to center. It feels like its choppy. Last weekend I went off-roading, nothing hard, just a muddy field basically.... There wasn't a lot of mud under the jeep but maybe there was enough to mess something up or does this sound like symptoms of something else? The jeep is pretty clean now. I power washed under the jeep twice now.

 

Maybe u bent something, or maybe something is loose... Might be an alignment issue..

 

Front axle shaft u-joints binding. My steering has the exact same issue and they're replacing the u-joints under warranty.

 

U joints eh? I think I might be leaning toward that myself. I checked my power steering and it seems to be fine. I do recall turning onto the pavement and accidentally being in 4H for about 30 feet. Only noticed that I was in 4H because it was binding a bit. Maybe I screwed them up then. the jeep also has about 50000 miles now. I hear peoples u joints are starting to go before then? Correct me if im wrong

 

Also to me this really doesn't sound like the steering clunk the a lot of people are getting since I don't heat any noises with it. Just the steering wheel not turning smoothly.
