I have had some really bad luck with cars recently, short story is a garage screwed me over on a brake job and telling me it was safe to ride, the next day the brakes failed and I rear ended a F150... that was the end of my car, and the start of my Jeep. Because of that every little pop, click, and off behavior I hear I think is going to cause a horrible accident. I phoned the lot 3 times to talk to a mechanic, and took it back once because I was paranoid about it. I was told on jeep forum though, that everything I had was just a jeep thing. I decided to come over hear and ask this question though. When I turn the wheel all the way right, it does not want to return. I don't have to fight it, but it does not correct itself. The left is fine. This was just given a full inspection and certified by Jeep, but I still find it strange... Also I have heard the occasional pop/click when stearing or backing up at a very steep turn. Whats up?


FYI I posted this in FAQ by mistake, sorry for the double post...

Check the bushings (rack, tie rod ends) ... check the upper / lower ball joints. If everything checks out, it's just your imagination :)

If it doesn't sound like metal on metal grinding, than it's probably a Jeep thing. They are noisey, uncomfortable and kind of clunky. But they are dependable and will take you almost where ever you need to go.
