Steering question

astonman · Mar 7, 2011

I know this has been probably asked a million times, but I want to make sure I’m covering all the bases. 1/3 of the time when I’m driving my jeep is fine, it goes straight and true , the rest of the time its either pulling to the left or to the right. on top of that and probably related sometimes when I do a slow turn there is a clunking noise in the front. Let me know what you think, I’m going to jack it up on my lunch and check the ball joints and the track bar. Anything else I should check? It is a 99 XJ with 4.5 in lift, 33’s, adj. track bar, disconnects and a steering box brace.

Thanks

Id check all your joints like you mentioned. A new steering stabilizer might help out a bit also if your factory one is shot.

check the steering box for slop. Unlock the steering wheel but keep the engine off, then open the hood and grab the steering shaft, and see if the shaft has any play where it meets the box.
