Hello! First time Jeep owner here. I bought a 2014 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with 70k miles on it from a dealer. Super clean looks brand new. 2nd week of having it I installed 4 inch lift, new shocks/springs , adjustable front lower control arms, dual steering stabalizer, and put 22 inch rims with 35 inch tires on it. Since installing the lift I have had it aligned twice. It is currently driving straight down the road/ not wandering but the steering wheels is acting weird/sloppy. When I make a right turn the steering wheel is no longer straight , and the steering wheel will be cocked right. When I make a left hand turn it will return to center. It doesn’t do this every time, most of the time not every. And sometime it will do the same thing when make a left hand turn. Any thoughts? I was thinking drag link? It has a new adjustable track bar that came with the lift. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! The drag

Does it have adjustable track bars for the front and rear?
Best thing to do is jack front axle off the ground and check to see if something is loose under the front. When it was aligned both times did they also check for worn parts in the front suspension? Tie rods, ball joints, drag link, steering gearbox?

It has a front adjustable track bar, and came with a bracket for the rear that made it longer. I never asked if they looked for warm oil it parts, but I guess that I just assumed they were looking for warm out parts.
I used to have one of those brackets for the rear track bar, now it laying on my garage floor with the track bar. Get a adjustable track bar for the rear also and then check the front and rear axles to see if they are centered under the Jeep.
I would go back to the Alignment shop and ask them what they did for the money you paid them when you brought it in for a Alignment. You can't do a Alignment on a vehicle if it has worn out parts.
I checked the front axle and it is centered. I took it to get it aligned at Belle tire, got the unlimited for a year. Take it back there again. But I will jack up the front axle and check it out. What exactly should I be looking for? Just slop?
Slop in everything I mentioned, what is your tire pressure?
