It feels like a Jeep with a lift that hasn't been aligned properly. Has anybody put adjustable control arms on a stock height Jeep to address the flighty steering?
If so, what alignment specs are you using?

Also, be sure that your tires aren't overinflated.
I have a '20 JL about 5 weeks old. Tire pressure was over 40 psi as delivered. The Jeep wandered all over the road, requiring constant steering correction. Took it to dealer in Reno and tire pressure was lowered to 34 psi and lower control arms were replaced. Seems to have solved the wandering issue. Our local Jeep engineer (he really is one) commented that the tires were inflated in Toledo (close to sea level) and that likely accounted for the problem. He lowered pressure in his tires to 34 psi. Reno's elevation is 4500 ft; I live at 5245' above sea level. And what's the situation with the "dead spot?" Please elaborate.

:cheesy: An "engineer" really said that the pressure was off because they filled the tires in Toledo? That's gotta be the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
