Changing the angle at which the s.s. is mounted on the tie rod changes the angle and forward / backward rotation is reduced. This is specially relevant if did relocate the track bar / steering stabilizer mounting point.

Have your significant other sit in the jeep start it up and cycle the steering fully to the left and right. Look for noticeable movement on steering components. Sometimes even quick tight turns while you watch will show the culprit. Good luck
