after lifting my jk i find that there is lots of play in the steering by this i mean i can move the wheel quite a bit before the wheels turn.
I have done a search and cant find anything, im sure this has been asked a million times and im just not understanding or using the right terminology. is this the caster being wrong, steering stabilizer, track bar ??

i dont believe that it is due to anything being broken it is simply because i have a very simple lift.

Thanks !

did you make sure that you connected your sway bar links back up?

if you added the 35" km2s at the same time as your suspension upgrade. triple check that you have about an 1/8" of "toe in" and this will def make your steering a night and day difference...

im pretty sure the track bar was installed properly, though i did not do the install. i ran the stock tires for about a month before going to 35's. what do u mean by toe in?

It's an alignment spec. Search the write-ups for the garage alignment.

great, i checked out the write up and will give that a shot tomorrow and see if it helps.

I am having this same problem. Did you adjust the toe-in to fix it?

Back from the dead thread!

In the end i dont know what changed. i switched tires, changed caster, changes steering stabiliers, new alignment done, re bolted my track bar, added a body lift. and the problem was gone. not sure which one did it as it was all done at once.

I have learnt that the jk do have some play in the steering naturally. i know that does not help, sorry.

Thanks, I went through and torqued everything back down after putting about 200 miles on the Jeep, and now everything feels a lot better! I think it took care of any issues I was having!
