So, my jeep is fixed. Reconnected my lockers, oiled the axels, etc... First day driving it to work. I HIT a pothole on the way home. It completely knocks my steering.
Why me.. seriously.
I have STOCk steering. I have 35s, regeared, and lockers. I had to get a new steering box a few years ago bc it was missing teeth. My steering stabilizer is a few years old.
Opinions?
Potholes..

Re: Potholes..
You bent or broke something.
Is it just the steering wheel that’s off, or are the wheels pointed weird?
If it’s just your tie rod, look into the V8 ZJ tie rod upgrade. It used ZJ factory parts and gets you a much stronger system for minimal cost. Been running it on my TJ for years now and have yet to bend/brake something.
