[QUOTE="A2112Priest, post: 430829, member: 19728"] *** HOT OFF THE PRESSESS*** 2015 JK WANDERER NO LONGER WANDERS. SO, The main contributor to this mess was a bad synergy ball joint (Apparently synergy is aware that they had a bad batch out there). Drivers side was bad so the shop replaced both...just in case After replacing them, the test drive resulted in a considerable improvement but the tech (who is also the shop owner) still felt something wasn't right. After checking the caster on the rack, it was not within what he felt was need so he adjusted it to 4.5 & moved the CA's (either up or down, not sure) on the geometry bracket and was happier with the drivability afterwards. So, back on the rack it went and he found one of the springs was not seated correctly and was popping up and down on a bolt. Also found a number of suspension fasteners on the back of the vehicle not even close to torque. All in all...drives a HELLUVA lot better now... [/QUOTE]
