Looking for suggestions on new steering

[rasband]

Many of us have stories to share about how a shop made some horrible recommendation that cost us some coin. It’s also lead many to just do it at home, as there’s only a few tough things to work on in a TJ (at least until you get into bigger mods that are more custom).

I normally handle my own wrenching. I have a shop behind my house with 2 post lift and my vehicles (Porsche Cayenne Diesel, Powerstroke Ford Diesel, 4 Jeep’s, couple of tractors & a skid steer) rarely see a mechanic. However, I’m working in Denver for 3 months & threw a lift under my TJ on my Son-in-Law’s garage floor. I knew it needed some final alignment so went to a 4x4 place in Denver & this was the shop they used!
It’s a little squirrelly even at slow speeds & definitely noticeable at highway speeds.
Own another set of Rubi Dana 44’s but they are 800 miles away!

My old knuckles are in Parker, but the driver side is drilled and sleeved for a tie rod flip - otherwise I’d have you just run down south to somewhat fix your issue.

U guys are Awesome! Thanks!

Just to follow up, I went with the Currie Correctlink and the TJ is driving Great! Fortunately, the alignment shop had not drilled my steering knuckles so it was a direct swap out.
Shop even credited me on the Rugged Ridge system they had installed! All good. Thanks, all for the advice!
