[QUOTE="Ecerna3, post: 463957, member: 26106"] Hi there! I’ve been having a problem with my 2013 jeep wrangler jk for the last few weeks and just cannot seem to narrow down the problem. Last month I changed my tires from 35 mud terrains to 35 all-terrains. As soon as they were put on, my jeep felt like it was skating on the road. Initially I thought the tire pressure was too high so I set them down to about 32 psi but the issue persisted. So I thought maybe it was an issue with the tires and had a different brand installed with the same dimensions and psi. It helped slightly but when I got to high speeds, my jeep continued to wander left to right in the lane and it felt like I was steering a sled. As in I had to nudge it back in forth instead of actually steering it. There is some play in the steering wheel left and right about 2 inches or so. So I had an alignment done, upgraded the control arms to long reach adjustables, installed new sway bar bushings, endlinks, and front track bar. I also rebuilt the whole front end last year and it seems solid. No play in the tie rod ends, hub bearings are new, and ball joints are new. I even took it to a shop for a shake down and the only thing they could think of was a slightly small bolt on the front track bar. I’m think maybe the castor is slightly off.
