The steering in the Jeep is loose feeling. From what I've read I should turn the steering wheel back and forth to find where the play is. From what I see there is a little rotation at the TRE which is normal? I was also told but have not verified that the passenger hub has a little play. Could the hub assembly starting to go cause the loose steering?
