Steering question??
Recently scooped up my JKUR and I only have one concern. I have zero bump steer or DW. It feels a little flighty when driving. I have some play in the steering also. I have RK adj control arms (8). Adj track bars to. Front end components feel solid. Any ideas what could be makin it feel a little flighty? Ball joints, steering box??? Gonna jack it up n the morning and see if there is any play in the wheels. I did notice my steering gear box has a little oil on the bottom

Post your alignment specs, sounds like low caster. Re-centering the steering wheel takes all of 5 minutes with a wrench, just loosen the two bolts on the drag link and twist the turnbuckle.
And up in the writeups area, click the Index stickied at the top, then scroll down to suspension and steering and open the DIY alignment writeup.

Yea feeling like a dumb ass right now. Took my JKUR in today for an alignment and only thing it needed was the pitman are tightened. That was the reason it was flighty. I can't believe I didn't evec check that.
