yes - I did a search, got nada.
Have a friend with a TJ, she was complaining it was all over the road, as well as some vib's. I drove it. HOLY SHIAT! Talk about sensitive steering, if you breath on the steering wheel wrong it practically does a 90 degree turn.
Anyone know how to desensitize a TJ steering box?

Cuz its a lame question :flipoff2:

Ok, I'll help her out
Is it stock? if not what lift? did it get aligned after the lift?
check toe first. Toe out can make the steering fast
Too little caster makes for crappy steering too

its basically stock.
So.. how does toe in affect the fact the steering, has zero free play? (This isn't a new problem, its existed ever since she bought the thing)
I'm used to driving vehicles that have a little play in the steering before the wheels start turning. this thing has none.

If the setup is toed in, the inside wheel won't initiate the turn, the outside wheel will and the inside wheel will resist the turn.
But if the setup is toed out, the inside wheel is already wanting to turn and as soon as some steering effort is added it will start to trace a tighter arc than the outer one and actually help with the steering effort which makes it very grabby.

ok.. lets say the alignment is good. what else could it be.

maybe y'all are just to sensitive:D Others gave the good answers.
for a temp fix, lower the air pressure, should slow it down a bit
