Steering seems flighty after ball joint install

[OkstateJK]

I'm hoping that mine sorts itself out shortly. I haven't spent much time at highway speed, only when I drove home after the install. It felt pretty sketchy then, I guess I will see as I'll be driving 2.5 hours on the highway Friday to get to our camping spot. I've got a little work to do with my drag link so once that part comes in, I'm going to have my shop do an alignment.

After less than 500 miles and a trip down a bunch of twisty gravel fire roads this weekend I can happily say my Alloy ball joints feel great!

Its been about 6k miles for me and i can say I am still getting flighty steering... Not too fond of these ball joints

At 6k your ball joints should be broke in.

Agreed, there's likely an underlying issue that you haven't resolved.

Seems like your just now noticing that your caster is out since you have better ball joints installed
