Diagnosing steering issues

[ncfitton]

I ran the Rubicon and my steering felt weird after Big Sluice, like the lockers were still engaged. Also on the way home there is more play than usual in the steering and sometimes it would feel sticky or notchy.

Here is some video I took. On a local Jeep club FB page I’m getting answers from steering stabilizer to track bar to sector bar in the steering box.

Im happy to take everything apart piece by piece in my diagnosis and about to start but hoping someone here can point me in the right direction.

I would start by jacking up the front axle just to see if maybe the front could still be locked in. You could have broken a wire and they stayed locked in.

It’s not locked

While you have it jacked up check out all of the bolts for something loose. The stabilizer bushing looks like it maybe loose
