Steering feels loose and wanders on the highway, any shop recommendations?
-
Noticed over the last few weeks that my 2014 Wrangler's steering has gotten vague, especially at highway speeds where it wanders a bit and I have to keep correcting. It's not terrible yet but it's definitely not the tight feel it used to have and it's making longer drives tiring. I checked the power steering fluid and it's fine, no whining or leaks that I can see, so I'm guessing it's something in the linkage or the box itself, maybe tie rod ends or a worn steering gear. I've been putting off getting it looked at because I'm worried it's going to be an expensive job, but a coworker told me there's a place in Mussafah that does affordable steering system repair and actually diagnoses the worn part instead of just replacing the whole rack. I haven't called them yet because I wanted to hear from real owners first. Has anyone dealt with wandering steering on a JK? What did it end up being and how much did it set you back? Also is there anything I can check myself in the driveway to narrow it down before I take it in? Just don't want to walk into a shop blind and get told I need everything replaced.
