Steering Box
DirtyJeep92:
Another factor is the Trac bar if the bushing are loose or the mounts are torn like mine always seems to be it will feel loose as well

But that usually only happens if you drive like Rock. ::)

Lol true, but I've seen it on more than just my rig!

If you look at the tie rod and drag ling of a stock Jeep the angle between them is fairly minimal (10-15 deg?). When you lift your Jeep this angle becomes greater and causes more steering wheel movement when you hit any bump in the road. Some try to solve this with a bigger or dual steering stabilizer set up, but this just masks the problem. Besides a track bar bracket to get your axle back under the center of the Jeep, I would recommend a tie rod flip kit. Here are the ones I got:

Finding the right drill bit was a PITA, but the steering geometry is much better and it moves the drag link further out of harms way.
