So after doing doughnuts on a flat area with sand my jeep made this loud screeching noise and when I was turning into my driveway I had to use a lot of strength to turn right / left ? Any idea? Could be the steering stabilizer?

I highly doubt it's the steering stabilizer. It's used for dampening. Maybe try taking it off and running without it, see if anything improves. My only guesses would be maybe tie rod, or something internal. If you can throw up a pic of your front axle and steering components maybe someone can see if something is out of place. I agree, check to see if it's still in 4X or if the locker is engaged. I made the mistake once of putting a Detroit non selectable locker in my International Scout and that damn thing screeched and clanked like it was breaking in damn near every turn.

Sounds like power steering pump to me. Blew mine up once and it was a wrestling match to park in parking lots lol.

FML that sounds about right, how much did it cost to fix?

Does it get easier to turn with higher RPM's?
Sounds like a power steering pump went out. Mine squealed for a it before it totally gave up the ghost.

Chances are because of the increase size of tires your pump wont be under warranty, but like others have mentioned it sounds like the PS pump. Check the belt first though.

That's one reason I was asking. [emoji106] The other is that in the pic above, the front links look too short and your sway bar is not at the correct angle. Might want to consider some longer links.

Actually if it's not a rubicon the links are probably fine. Not that sway bar links have anything to do with this.
