[QUOTE="Rubicon John, post: 728200, member: 21048"] Have someone wiggle your steering wheel and see if the steering box input shaft is wiggling with the steering wheel while the output and pitman arm stand still. If this is the case the box might have a small amount of slop. remove front driveshaft and take it for a drive to see if vibrations persist. If so, reinstall and then remove rear shaft and drive in 4hi to see if vibes persist. Diagnose, don’t throw parts at it. However, if the Jeep has some miles and wear on it, it could certainly be a few things contributing to your issues. Mine needed several things replaced to get the ride quality where I wanted it. That came with the higher mileage I bought it at. [/QUOTE]
