New jeep steering probs
Just got a jeep for my wife last night. 2000 wrangler. Has 4in skyjacker suspension lift and 33x12.50 tires. Steering is whorable. Is this a common problem what should I be looking for?

Way too much play in the steering. I just got done putting in all new ball joints and drivers side front hub/wheel bearing. Not sure if I want to test idrive t incase that was not the fix.

Have someone turn the steering wheel back and forth while you watch the components in the front steering / suspension, Check for play in the Draglink, tie rod and trackbar.

Also check the control arm bushings, when I bough my 99 it had the Skyjacker 4" and I had to have all the control arm bushings and the rear trackbar bushings replace (as well as Balljoints and unit bearings) once I had that done it drove great.
