Hey everyone. Tried the 4H on my 2009 Rubicon and noticed the steering wobbling when I made sharp turn in low speed. Is there something wrong. Just got my jeep and trying to find out.:confused:

its totally normal. in 4wd the wheels try to turn the same speed, but in a turn they cant. the outside tire in a turn travels slightly farther than the inside tire. try not to turn to sharp in 4wd on pavement or really hard pack surfaces. 4wd is for off road or in slippery contions.

Yup, 4x4 should not be used on dry hard surface roads, it binds up the driveline because the surface has lots of traction and no give. Bring it over to a trail run and we'll all be glad to help teach you the 4x4 basics :thumb:

Sometime in the next couple weeks or so I'll probably head up around West Branch and do a little wheeling. You can come along if you'd like and we can show you how to use that rig of yours.

Will do that.. Where is the West Branch by the way? Sure do want to learn about off-roading..

You make it sound like a far off land. lol It's exit 215 on I-75. There are trails all over up there.

I have family up there so go up all the time and stay with my parents, but there are a bunch of hotels right off exit 212. There are also a bunch of nice campgrounds around too. Or, it's only about 2 and half hours drive from you if you want to do a day trip.

Cool.. Sounds good.. And your are right. It isnt that far from where i live. Will definitely be heading up there to get some wheeling done. I think it called wheeling right..

[oz97tj]

Yes, wheeling. It's good times. You available weekends?
