JLU w/ 3.5” lift and has synergy mfg tie rod, drag link, steering stabilizer bracket (for fox ATS 2.0), and sector shaft brace (that helped me the most with death wobble). Anyway, I have a constant squealing when turning left or right. I took off the sector shaft adapter, cleaned it up, applied...

I’ll do this before buying the tool. Fingers crossed for sure

Same thought myself! I saw a tool that pressure tests and fills. So I’m gonna pressure test to make sure I don’t have a small leak somewhere.

To be honest, that’s next on my list if burping the coolant doesn’t work.

It’s a 2019 with 53k. Is coolant part of the powertrain? Never had coolant issues before on any vehicle under 150k miles

Kk thank you! I’ll grab a coolant air bleeder tool and test it out. Shops want to flush the coolant, which I don’t want

We’ve started to experience our JLU overheating in stop and go traffic. Sometimes when just parked idling as well. Coolant levels are maxed out and color is normal. Fan kicks into high gear. Noticed the heater in the cabin is starting to blow cold, at least not warm, air. And that’s at random...

That’s kinda what I’m thinking. I do plan to keep the ones I have on now. But since this is her daily, baby carrier, and ever so often weekend trail rig, softer may be the best route for now

Soooo… after several conversations with EVO, JKS, Synergy, and King (Clayton never replied). King offered the most support, at least for me. They suggested I start with the springs first, since the shocks could be too stiff but springs (in their mind) would be the biggest culprit of the two...

Appreciate this! But I have Synergy drag link installed. So it’s one solid bar. Side note: I had Synergy drag link on my JK with their steering stabilizer relocation mount. Found out quickly that if that stabilizer mount is not perfectly centered upright, it’ll cause problems.

Ya, I torque/grease check every 1,000-1,500 miles out of old habits. Definitely learned that from prior installs!

I do not have a dropped pitman or flipped drag link… If you can imagine, all my prior projects were either 3 or 4 inch lifts and surprisingly never needed either. That’s why I’m struggling with this JLU.

Yup, same size I have on this Jeep. I’ll test them out at 25psi for a week and see what comes of the interment bump steer/death wobble

Yessir! To be honest, lessons learned from prior Jeep projects, I get them balanced at Discount tire and then checked again at Firestone (because I bought a vehicle lifetime alignment/balance package). Do you remember what PSI you used? And what tires you running now for future consideration.
