Hey all thought I'd share a bit about what's going on with my jeep. A couple of weeks ago I noticed power steering fluid all over the top of the diff and steering linkage and dripping off the pitman arm. Thought oh great its leaking.
Well I took it into the dealership as it still has its factory Mopar warranty and had my buddy come out and look at it. He took down the Vin and said the box needed to be serviced or replaced in this case (2010) and would talk to his boss about it. Well right away said they won't touch it because it has a drop pitman arm but only a 4 inch lift. Had it professionally installed and aligned elsewhere because of deals I get elsewhere.
Well fast forward a couple days and I finally got a chance to talk to the gm about it. He thought it was odd as they've never had one come back for it and have fitted 15+ wranglers with 35's off the floor.
Now within the last week ive discovered horizontal sector shaft play along with the leak (even with Lucas stop leak) and the steering has become very sloppy and highway travel becomes an ass clenching drive as its now unpredictable to handle.
Finally went back in today and the gm didnt want me driving it so I have an 09 journey r/t as a temp and they're gonna do what they can first thing tomorrow. I'm really hoping they fix it as they didnt install the lift BUT it was professionally done and Mopar does make a dropped pitman arm and they usually cover 4" lifts. So here's to spending 200 and not like a grand or more :/ Can't believe how fast it got sloppy. I have the synergy brace kit waiting so it won't happen again as ive been telling them. Damn jeeps.
