    So the jeep still hasn’t acted up! Took it out today and picked up a buddies truck with it, about 50 miles round trip. The wife said I should upgrade the rest of the power steering system anyways, just to be sure it’s not that.

    Been out testing the Jeep, to see if it’ll start behaving. The last new part installed was the draglink adjuster sleeve. It seems to be doing alright. I might be overly paranoid about it, thinking I feel something when nothing is happening. Anyways. Went out and picked up stuff to start our...

    I understand that and the hard line coming out of the steering box has one smaller one when it come out and over the box, but that would have caused cavitation the whole time. I would think. It’s been two years and several thousand miles and it just showed up one day. Having air trapped in the...

    just opened the power steering reservoir look like maybe some bubbles when I pulled the lid. Don’t really have the $1300 for the PSC kit to rule that out completely, but I could probably find it. I still would have thought it would show up sooner if it was in the hydraulic system. But I can’t...

    I checked the steering box bolts, but I’ll re check them. I’m running the one that came with the EVO kit. I just replaced the just replaced the steering box side and have a new adjustment sleeve coming for it.

    Well the metallic sound was from something on the Jeep. One of the gas cans were loose. Took it around town up some bumpy roads and about 30 through my field. No pops or rattles.

    Took the Jeep out this morning. I found a spot up the street from my house that has three consecutive sharp bumps. So I’ve succeeded in getting it to act up on a straightaway, we’ll kind of. It started but didn’t go past a heavy shimmy, it settled out on its own. What I did notice that I hadn’t...

    What sucks is I brought that up when talking about it to my wife, weeks ago but never fully looked into it. What’s even worse is I’m pretty good with hydraulic systems, one of the main things I did at work 🤦‍♀️. I’ve blinded myself thinking it had to be someplace else. Anyways. I’ll report back...

    Got the front of the jeep up on jack stands doing a bleeding process for power steering. Checked fluid level. It was a little low, above the minimum mark but not full. What I did notice when I started the engine watching the flow in the reservoir, it was almost cycloning. Waiting for the wife...

    I’m gonna do a bleeding process right now. Even at idle it’s super easy to turn.

    I’ll check that out! I did the recommended flush for install and run swepco in it. It’s one finger steering when driving. Wouldn’t the steering get stiffer if it wasn’t getting enough flow?

    It’s the big bore box.

    Just the steering box. It’s worked so well haven’t seen a need to add the ram. Everything else is stock still.

    I am you know I thought about that also. Haven’t fully checked, but the steering box has been in since may of 2022. I would’ve thought it would show up much sooner. This all started in July.

    Thanks! I could probably deal with a shimmy at this point 🤣

    I haven’t checked the tapered holes, but there isn’t any play I’ve checked with engine running and with it off. I’ve inspected the frame where track bar and control arms mount. All bushings are new, checked torque on all front end bolts. I’m going to keep looking through because this is driving...
