Who out there will be upgrading their steering with this kit?
TJ Mitchell Films I will.
Nice. You will be glad you did
@@BuiltForDirt Just need to install it!
For only $200, I'm definitely buying this kit!! It's a no brainier. My TJ Rubicon has a similar mod and it only has 35" tires. My JT has 38's and I want worry-free steering.
I ordered mine, but its on backorder. Looks like Synergy has a hit on its hands. I have a 2019 JL Rubicon and I was shocked on how much play the steering has. I will reference this video to help with my install, great job!
My JK's steering was like that. I can't believe they didn't fix that problem. That's Chrysler for ya!
I like TJs demeanor and approach to making these sensible and useful videos. Knowledge, a dash of verve, and attention to detail.
Thanks Brian!
I ordered the synergy brace and drag link and track bar at the same time and the track bar and drag link are on back order but the brace showed up. I installed it and am blown away with how effective it is. It has resolved all my steering issues and death wobble. it's nice to be able to drive straight down the highway now. Since the day I drove my JL off the lot the steering has been terrible.
This is awesome to hear. Thank you for sharing. I’m happy your JL is driving better!
I got mine in back in January... one my most favorite mods... this should have been standard from Jeep... props to synergy for the bracket.
Yeah Jeep definitely dropped the ball on that one. Synergy to the rescue!
Not made to run big tires don’t put 38s on and there’s no issue
lennin monroy ... hahahahahahaha..... I bet you drink milk out of the carton too... your not supposed to but you do!
Thanks for posting. This is on my build list.
Awesome you will like it
Great installation video, instructions and specs will be very helpful for anyone following along while preforming this installation! Thank you!
Glad I was able to help!
Great video, thank you for including the sizes ans torque specs!
No problem! Thanks for watching.
I installed this within a month of the wife getting her new 2020 JL Diesel. She noticed the difference right away. I highly recommend lots of Loctite on the Synergy pinion arm nut.
If she has the aluminum steering box you might want to look into having the dealership install the steel one they put out a TSB for.
came for the jeep fix, then notices the "All the Work" shirt and had to sub.
Thanks! Much appreciated 🤙🏻
yup. we are ordering this for our Jeep
Awesome glad to hear
Rock crawling with a trackbar.. I laughed outloud at that one
I am gonna have to look into this.
Awesome! It’s a great upgrade for sure
Great video. I'm a new first time Wrangler owner. I've had my 2020 JL for two weeks now. I test drove 4 of them before ending up with the one I now own. The first Sport S I drove was work to drive. It didn''t wander, it hunted! The steering was very loose. The next one was a little better. Then I drove a red Willys. The steering was much improved over the 1st two. Time I got back from the test drive another customer had closed the deal on it. However the dealer got me a Willys in billet silver with much better options 3 day's later. Of all the JL's I drove, mine has the best steering. Not perfect! But much much better. You would think Jeep/Chrysler would take care of the loose steering issue so the customer does not have to look into a mod to improve the steering. Other than that, I'm loving my Wrangler! Thanks for making this video.
Thanks! Ya it appears FCA is in denial about the steering problem...
I added this and I recomemd everything jl or jt add this even if you don't do anything else.
Couldn’t agree more
Wow. I can’t believe the steering box moved that much. I will be doing this to my gladiator asap.
Yeah its definitely crazy. A must have upgrade for sure.
try adjusting your steering box screw adjustment first, however do not over do it, slight adjustment will help,,,
Just purchased Gladiator Rubicon. Will definitely be looking at this upgrade. Thanks for the info and video.
Congratulations on the purchase! What other upgrades do you have planned for it?
Just starting the list of things that I figure will be done. Obvious things are winch, lift, tires, and rims. Don’t have anything picked out yet but am picking up a lot of information, options, and suggestions from others. The more I learn from all y’all, the more questions I’ll have. As a general note, many thanks to all who participate and provide content on this forum. Not only is it fun to see what others have done, it’s a great learning tool for this a newbie.
Excellent demo! Will do this upgrade today on my JK. Kudos to Synergy mfg for their excellent engineering and part quality.
Have you done install it yet? My buddy install jks brace and the track bar is hitting right under the new kit on shaft of pitman arm. Just wonder if this kit better on JK or not.
This shouldn't be a "mod" should be a recall!
Awesome video will be doing this to my New Gladiator!
Awesome this is definitely a must do upgrade. Good call
Thwre is a TSB that Jeep replaces your aluminum steering gear box to a steel one under warranty and it totally fixes the issue
Yes this video was made well before the TSB. I would still want the brace for rock crawling reasons anyways.
What size of your lift kit ?
What tire size on your jeep ?
Amazing jeep thanks for the video
It's a 3" lift from Synergy MFG. The tires are 38" Milestar Patagonias. I have a full walkaround video with more details here: ua-cam.com/video/lK7T5B2YWcE/v-deo.html
Good video!! I’m def doing this one !
Awesome you won't regret it.
A guty talked about how there is a gear slop adjustment on steering unit & u want 6mm kind of same thing in the rear gears 6 thousands. The new steering boxes from jeep r going to b heavier like Ram steering unit that is able to drop n up grade & is 30% bigger. The older boxes were light aluminum & movement in the bolts on in side was also contributing factor. So new steering box adjusted tighter in spec, the synergy bracket, track bar flip on top instead of bottom. Min 2.5" bar solid not hollow like stock, & most of all the angle of drag link has to perfectly match the other control arm angle. Aligned & tight working replaceable better stronger ball joints that don't wear slam out in 30k +miles.
My steering was perfect until I had a Rock Krawler lift installed. Steering felt really loose and shifty. I ordered this bracket and the Synergy track bar so hopefully that fixes the probelm.
It will make it much better. You will be happy with it for sure. Have a little patience on the install
What rock crawler lift did you get ?
I had a similar setup on my 2007 RAM 3500. Worked nicely. Those bolts on the JT for the steering box seemed loose when you undid them as the electric impact never worked hard.
I had already manually broken them loose before.
great video! i see that you have done this two years ago. how has it been holding up ??
Still holding up great! Just have to tighten the bolts every now and then and grease it. Zero complaints from me.
I just bought a 2022 gladiator. It’s m first Jeep ever. I have a lot of play on the highway. If I put this mod on (pay someone to do it) will it void my warranty?
Good watch, im doing mine today .
Awesome how did it go?
@@BuiltForDirt it went great thanks. I have a buddy with a lift so that helps and a buddy that has a service station for the socket luckily. Bot WOW what a difference well worth the effort they should put these on all new jeeps jl and jt.
I couldn’t agree more. Glad it went well and helped your steering improve
You should use blue thread lock on the 4 steering box bolts, just to be sure they don't back out, agian.
Good idea. They haven't backed out yet though luckily.
I have a new 2020 JL for just a month now. Love it except for the steering. I'm new in the Jeep world but have learned a lot about the wrangler in a short period of time. The wrangler I ended up buying was the 4th one I drove at the dealership, Mine which has the Willys package had the best steering of them all. Not perfect by any means! The 1st Wrangler I drove was like trying to land a Cessna 150 in 20 knot quartering crosswind!!! The others were better but not as good as the Willys. I mentioned it to the sales person and his reply was well you know it's an off road vehicle and does not handle like your Telluride. I thought no crap Sherlock! I will definitely will be getting the Syneregy mod soon. In fact I take it in for the 1000 mile service tomorrow. Actually at the 700 mile mark I noticed the my steering wheel is canted to the left about a quarter inch while tracking straight. It pisses me off that as much as you pay for a new Jeep we should not have to buy a kit to fix what Jeep/Chrysler should be resolving at the assembly level.
Yeah its a head scratcher for sure. It's really the only issue I have seen with my JT so far. I'm glad I did the upgrade from Synergy. You will like the improvement.
This is definitely one of the best things off dinner to my Rubicon. Are you still running factory drag links, steering bar, and steering dampeners?
Yeah Synergy made a great product that’s for sure! So for tie rod and drag link I’m running Synergy as well. Steering stabilizer is factory but with the synergy relocation kit. I have a walk around video of the truck here: ua-cam.com/video/lK7T5B2YWcE/v-deo.html Full details on the truck there
Awesome I will check it out!
My question is tire has to be on the floor before troque the track bar bolt which you did not why?
Easier with the tire off. I always re torque after 100 miles. I should have stated that in the video nice catch
Jay Hernandez you can torque that bolt without the wheel because the weight of the jeep is on the axle. If the axle was drooping as if it’s on the hoist, then it would cause the trackbar bushing to bind once the jeep is back on the ground.
He has the Synergy Track bar. It has dual durometer bushings, it won't bind regardless. Notice how it fell out of the bracket when he removed the bolt.
I know its an old vid but the sway bar link were installed wrong at the end 😂
Just bought a 2015 Jeep Rubicon 2015 Hard Rock unlimited back in June, my first Jeep.... its been a money pit Lemon the last 3 months, with tons of problems, seams on panels have rust bubbles showing, I even had undercoat done with oil/wax by MA undercoating near Worcester MA.. now need to go to body shop for only an 8 year old vehicle... I even see this rust on newer JL's... due to New England road salt coming, don't want it rusting like Escape... Nowhere to off road either where I live, all the places are closed up. I so want to go back to my old 2005 Ford Escape Limited, but that frame rotted out the last 18 years I had it, so was in in hurry for trade, nobody would buy it. I am so em-barest about this money pit, when the other jeep drivers wave to me, I don't even waive back because this vehicle sucks and is stuck in 1941 with its tech... want to get rid of this by next summer for a Mercedes SUV.. maybe GLE350.
Jeep installed a new steering box on min 2018 JLUR this week. Fixed it.... anyone want to buy a Synergey kit (brand new)?
I don't think I hve seen any1 change out the steering box bracket just the bracket under middle of jeep, new 1.
On 10/05/2020 I special ordered my 2021 2 doors Rubicon , arrived to the dealer 11/23/2020 unfortunately I have a lot of problems with the steering, and it wanders to right very bad . I only drove it 200 miles and it has been at the dealer since then (6 days)
Oh man what a bummer that sounds horrible. I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully you will get it back soon and driving good
Man that spring is totally in the way
It made for a bit of a challenge!
I put mine on a lift and had no problem with the spring being in the way
Just use a ratchet strap and tighten it down as needed to make it move out of the way.
Sweeeet! 🤘
🤙🏻
I just installed mine and it works well but when i curve around a car my steering wheel wants to stay at that turning angle even if i let go of the wheel. usually it would return back to straight but i have to manually pull back to straighten it. I also have a fox steering stabilizer
How do we get jeep to do a recall ? Lots of complaints or does it actually have to break? I have stock Wildpeaks but steering feels looser than my previous 3 jeeps.
To be honest I don’t think they will do a recall. They have been having this problem since the JL launched and haven’t fixed it. This is the best way to fix it though.
TJ Mitchell Films, I am certainly doing this build on my JL. I did have a question. On the sector shaft - There was a what looks like set screw hole on the bottom of the sector shaft. but I did not see you install that one. Is it a set screw and if not what is the screw hole for?
I installed that off camera and forgot to touch on that! You won’t regret installing this on your JL!
@@BuiltForDirt Thank You, it is on my new years list foe the JL - Track bar, Tie Rod and Drag link - many thanks again, good video
Supposedly there is a lash sloop steering adjustment & should only b 6-10 mm old steering box slop.
I know it’s been a while (old video) but will this work when I have the teraflex track bar set up?
I’m not sure. You would have to contact Synergy they should know
I wonder if it's just Wranglers and Rubicon Gladiators. My Mojave has 27k on it. And it tracks straight as hell down the highway.
You have the updated steering box in yours which seems to have solved the issue for the most part. Only early JLs snd JTs have the aluminum steering box
@@BuiltForDirt i have a 22. Could have been 20 and 21
How about adding that there is a small screw going straight up into the aluminum that supports the bearing.
Must have missed that part. Happens some times when filming these installs. Good catch
Looks like they would have stuck that pitman arm nut in a lathe and cut a small groove to allow
the grease to go all the way around the inside.
I am getting this kit soon. I don’t understand what the bushing for the steering arm is for. If the structure doesn’t keep the steering box from moving around then beef up that structure but again why the bushing ?
It helps keep it from flexing as well and allows it to turn still. It’s a great design you will be happy with how it improves your steering
I run this on both my JT and JL.
Nice!
When I’m driving my Jeep and I hit some bumps, even small ones, the steering wheel shifts to either side. It’s like it gets loose and turns and I have to adjust the steering. Do you think I need to install this to stop that from happening?
Hey Leon, yes this will definitely help with that. It reduces the overall play in the wheel. Like you saw in the video the steering box is moving off of the frame which is not supposed to happen. It doesn’t make if steer like a sports car but it makes it a lot better
TJ Mitchell Films gotcha yeah I lifted my Jeep a few months ago and it didn’t do that at first but after a few months that started happening. I thought my stabilizer would not allow that to happen but I guess I need to get this too, thanks!
I have a 2020 stock Sahara Unlimited with steering wandering. I contacted a shop that had a video of the install and was told this fix requires at least a 2" lift. What is your take to install this on a stock Sahara? I can't imagine how it would hurt the vehicle.
According to the website it doesn’t say a 2” lift is required. It says a 2” bump stop extension or use the Synergy front track bar. This will most definitely help your wandering steering though. I can’t recommend it highly enough
@@BuiltForDirt Thanks for getting back to me. I went ahead and bought both the brace and the track bar. I can't believe Jeep or Fiat hasn't proactively fixed this issue.
Yeah it’s a bit puzzling that they haven’t fixed it. Thankfully there is a good aftermarket fix at least
What are your thoughts after one year? Any squeeking? Especially since the bearing is open/not sealed?
No noises or squeaking. Just gotta make sure you keep it greased! Two of the bolts loosened a bit but after tightening them again with loctite everything is good. Steers great still
Mine only has the play, I can see the steering column move before the steering box engages so this wouldn’t help me......
Well I did put the brace and work for a bit but still death wobble.
Is your Jeep lifted or stock? This brace isnt necessarily a death wobble fix its more for sloppy steering
Will this brace interfere with some lifts? My JLU room bacon has 9k miles and it’s a little floaty.
According the the website you will need to run a 2” bump stop spacer if your using the stock track bar. If you use the Synergy track bar you are good to go.
TJ Mitchell Films I had an AEV lift on my jku rubicon and it came with some kind of steer kit that resembled the synergy idk if it was something similar or something else totally. Def want this item though. Plan on using this video as a guide to install. Thanks.
Hello boss, I recently bought Jeep JL 2018, 78000 kms on it. It has 33’ tires, 2.5 inch skyjack lift kit. It makes clunk sound on slow big bumps mostly on the turns.My Drag link was having little play I have change it but still it makes the same sound. Technicians had taken a look on it but he was unable to find any thing.there’s nothing loose even. What can u suggest.
Thnks
I’ve heard that the hole the track bar bolts to can wallow out. So the bolt could be tight but the whole thing moves inside the hole.
Will this work on a stock vehicle? I have a 19 JLUR that seems not so stable. My wife has a 20 JLUR and says it seems worse than her 16 was
I think it will fit stock if you run their track bar as well or with a factory track bar you have to have some sort of bump stop extension I believe.
Do you need to do alignment after installing this
Nope!
Do you know if adding this mod voids my warranty? I just bought a 2022 gladiator.
This depends on the dealer. For most this would void the warranty but I can be taken off if needed
@@BuiltForDirt Thanks. I will ask the dealer this week. I live 3 minutes from the dealer. Maybe if I let them install it they will play nice.
What’s wrong with the steering? Mines fine.
My brand new 2023 Jeep Gladiator Mojave has too much play in the steering....I am pissed off!!!!!!
At least there is a fix!
@@BuiltForDirt Amen! This is my second Jeep..my 2012 Sahara ran great. I am thrilled to have the Gladiator...just awesome.
Which steering stabilizer do u use?
The stock one
Do you think this is needed on a stock 2018 Jeep JL Rubicon? Thanks
After seeing the steering box move off the frame I would say yes. If Jeep isn’t going to address the steering problem I would want the peace of mind
Can anyone comment on this after the news steering tsb? I got my new steering box but the loose steering severely less but it still wanders all the road snd drives sloppy. So wanted to someone added this on new gearbox the iron one they have now.
My 2020 gladiator start death wobble at 4000 miles,I did buy the falcon HD steering wheel plus the track bar and sector shaft brace ,reduce the wobble but came back again now I order the sinergy track bar,tie rod and drag link so I may be can fix my death wobble.Any recommendations?
Thanks and appreciate any advice.
Thanks
And yes my Jeep is lifted 2.5” with 37” tires.
To be honest, you should probably contact Synergy directly. They should have a phone number listed on their website www.synergymfg.com Check your toe in, make sure everything is torqued properly.
TJ Mitchell Films Thanks
Are you going to have the steel steering box installed?
I will eventually. I know it’s going to be a headache with the dealer and since my steering is pretty good with the brace on I’ve just been putting it off to be honest.
@@BuiltForDirt the service manager at my dealer told me that Chrysler said if a customer has a complaint about the steering to just order the part. I'm waiting on mine to get delivered so I can have it changed.
@@BuiltForDirt I should also mention I watched a vid where a guy had this exact brace on his JT. He took the part off that connects it to the steering box and had the dealer replace the box.
Hey I have a 20’ JL Sport and I recently lifted it up as well as aligned the vehicle. The mechanic told me I still have some play in the front tires and my steering doesn’t stay straight when it’s diving a straight road. It tilts a little bit to the left. He advised me it was either my steering box or because I lifted the Jeep. Would this bracket help with my steering issue?
This brace helps with wandering steering and it also takes some of the slop out. I definitely think the brace will help
@@BuiltForDirt okay thank you. One more question, this bracket is all I need right?
Yes there is one other thing you can have done. Jeep issued a TSB for steering boxes. So if you go into your dealer and let them know that you have loose and wandering steering they should replace the box with a newer one free of charge. That with the brace is the best option out there currently
@@BuiltForDirt would they still do it free of charge since I replace the suspension. Would that void the warranty or the TSB?
It won’t effect the TSB but if you change suspension parts you might lose that on your warranty unless you have the dealer install the Mopar kit. I personally wouldn’t run that kit but that’s just my opinion
Just install the Synergy Trackbar and Sector Shaft Brace for my 2019 jeep wrangler jl sports today and everything install good. I am hearing sound like rubbing when i turn my wheels almost all the way turn wheels to left or right and back up hear sound like rubbing, what do you think is the problem ? Please help thanks.
DM me on Instagram @tjmitchellfilms send me some pictures of how it’s installed
@@BuiltForDirt Found out the problem axle move to the right a bit so when turning wheels all the way and back up is hitting the lower right front splash guard. So this mean i have to adjust the track bar turning track bar left to center the axle right? Just don't know why the axle move, all i did is take out the track bar to put in the new bolt for bracket nothing else. I have a rock crawler track bar adjustable.
What is the torque spec on sway bar bolt?
Upper sway bar links are 45 ft lbs.
Imagine how much better it would be if you weld it in!
Is your synergy track bar rubbing on the axle mount on backside?
No it is not
What’s the need for a fix, mine works fine
Not every ones works fine. As you can see in the video the steering box was moving off the frame which is not supposed to happen.
Will this work on my 2015 sahara unlimited?
This would be the one you would need for your Jeep bit.ly/2UeZ510
Found new problem with this synergy trackbar and sector shaft brace, when turning wheels to left and slightly reverse there is a clicking sounds also when running around 55 miles steering start to vibrate what is causing this issue? Check everything is tight and torque specs right and still a problem please help thanks.
I'm not certain. You should call Synergy directly at 1-805-242-0397
Good info
Thank you 🙏🏻
Did you have to do an alinement after install
Not needed for the brace
I wonder if going to Jeep will be better?
Depends on your dealer from what I have heard
@@BuiltForDirt thanks man bought a jeep last week and now I gotta do this and more bs? smh
what is that bracket your swaybar is attached too?
It’s a prototype bracket from Synergy
Is the 2inch bump stop needed on a 2020 JL Rubicon?
Only if you use the stock track bar. If you get the Synergy track bar no bump stop extensions are required I believe
Can't you just tack weld the steering box to the frame?
That would void the warranty of the frame by doing any welding to it. Also I’m pretty sure the older style steering box like the one I have is aluminum so that wouldn’t really work anyway
Did you change the steering gear box on you jeep?
No it’s the original one
will this fit 392?
I believe so! I would double check with them to be certain but on their website it says the only one it’s not compatible with is the diesel.
How tall are those jacks?
I’m not certain. They aren’t specially tall or anything.
@@BuiltForDirt cool, thank you
Any way I can Grease without the gun?
I suppose you could grease it by hand before assembly but to be honest your going to want a grease gun any ways for other things on your Jeep.
@@BuiltForDirt thanks
I know some pp like cheap option & up grade as go option But God I anti doing that. Giving away the store & putting new jeep ppl in them that would never turn a wrench & making it up involume only building quality prts Rubicon Bronze lowest level NOW. If u want cheaper option by used or buy something else doing this NOW america taking pride in work making quality product to help not enslave world
I hve no problem putting this on lowest level bronze rubicon jeep & the other bracket in middle of jeep, kill it & I prefer the ram replacement steering box best fix my money vs the jeep new middle wt going cheap worthless corp after 9yrs+ of death wobble.
When I get this design as perfect as can will mass produce them, so yeah I don't care go big fix this shit tiny tank it, my dime, it will al even out my counting system.
Do not buy this. I received mine and where the tapered screw is to go they discontinued it because they found it was shearing off. Well no doubt because the holes in the bracket are way larger than the 3/8 bolts they give you. The tapered side would work ok if the other side wasn’t bigger. It creates a hinge effect and shears the tapered one off. All because you can only torque to 30 lbs. so think this out. They send it out now with 2 3/8 bolts in a way larger hole. What do you think will happen. The whole idea is to have no movement!!!!! That’s why we buy it. I tried explaining this to them. And all he could say is that’s why we use lock-tight. Wtf? Ok lock tight holds a bolt in a larger hole???? Inferior engineering
shouldn't have to fix such an expensive vehicle.
Agreed. But here we are
Couldn’t you just tighten the steering box bolts more than factory?
Unfortunately that doesn’t fix the problem. This is the only way to help with sloppy steering besides taking it to the dealer and hoping that they actually do something or upgrade the entire system to something like PSCs kit.
