The only adjustments, which can be made with the original factory equipment, were caster, toe in and steering wheel center. 1999 and 2000 Grand Cherokee (WJ), caster adjustment was not provided. The new ball joints will offer adjustments of up to 1.5 degrees for camber and caster where required.

This kit certainly does not include such components. You can get a remanufactured unit with a warranty for like $220 at NAPA after the core charge.
Steering Wheel Play. Ok I'm stumped on this. Everything is tight from the gear box down to the tires. Replaced the steering box and intermediate shaft going from steering column to steering box. Everything is fine EXCEPT that there is a minute amount of play in the steering wheel. It feel like if you have a worn U-joint and you feel that dead

MbBtzak. You probably still have air in the system and dirty fluid. lift your front tires off the ground, turn on the ignition but do not start the engine. Take the cap off the PS pump, turn the steering wheel from lock to lock several times and look in the pump to see if there are bubbles, if there are you have air in the system. L.

To get the steering wheel straight you now just need to adjust the drag link to get it right. This will not affect the wheel alignment so you won't have to get it done again. Reply Quote.

Am in the process of replacing my 17" OEM WJ wheels and came across a set of new 17" JK take-offs with Wrangler 245/70r17s on them. I am concerned about the width and how they will fit on my 2004 WJ. I checked the clearance against the wheel inner fender when fully
The jeep drives and rides so much better now. Problem is I still get a vibration at about 40-50 MPH that causes the steering wheel to shake. Not Death Wobble though. With the old BFG's it would sometimes develop into death wobble. About a week ago I replaced the stock steering stabilizer with a RC 2.2 performance stabilizer and since the tires
