alignment

Hey everybody, I've been reading the forum a lot over the last 6 months as I prepared to buy my first jeep. I went with a 98' TJ 4.0. I got it at a great price, but part of the deal is that there are a lot of gremlins I need to chase to get things running smooth. I'm a long time shade-tree...

I have a 2004 TJ, 2 inch lift, and 35s. I haven’t been able to find any other threads on this issue. 4 months ago, I installed CavFab’s crossover steering when I had 33s, and still have had zero issues. A month ago, I got my 35s and it’s been fine. About two weeks ago, I adjusted my toe in...

I've always noticed a bit of a vibration from my front right wheel. Over the course of the last year I've replaced the axles, ball joints, hub, breaks, and shocks. I have all new tie rods, as well as control arms. Basically the whole front end has been rebuilt over the course of the last year...

Hi all, I’m traveling round-trip from New York to California in my ‘98 TJ and would like to find a shop in Flagstaff Arizona to get my tires rotated and an alignment. I just got new Michelin Defenders before starting this trip and I want to make sure I keep them wearing right. Please let me know...

Ok so I am doing the ZJ steering upgrade this week. I managed to get ball joints replaced and the rest of my parts should be in tomorrow. I'm going to do the alignment this weekend - I have 2" lift - do I still to the alignment to 2001 TJ specs? Or what gets changes with the lift? Or do I use ZJ...

Hey, guys, my input shaft isn't going into the pilot bearing on my '98. 4.0, 5-speed, clutch is lined up it's just that the input shaft will not line up to the bearing. I used the clutch alignment tool, splines are on the transmission shaft. Pictured below is how much I have left to go before...

I have an 01 Jeep Wrangler with a 2” lift sitting on 32 MT tires. I feel it pull to the left/right driving highway speeds or driving over any bumps/cracks on the roads will make it swing either to the left or right. Les Schwab said its fine but i don’t believe them. You gotta white knuckle it...

So I was working on my girlfriends 97 auto 4.0 TJ because of some issues when alignment. Specs are 4 inch lift, fully adjustable control arms (no idea the brand), adjustable front track bar, Slip yoke, Ford 8.8 in the rear) PO would wheel it, but my girl friend is looking to use it for a daily...

Hey Everyone, I’m new to this forum but have had my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sport since it was 1 year old. I finally had enough extra cash to put a 4” lift on it with my dream wheels and tires (20” Fuel Assault w/33” Patagonia Milestar M/T. I got it back yesterday but the alignment is so bad the...

04 TJ 4.0L, stock as far as I can tell. 30.5” tires. Owned it for 6 months. Skidded out in the snow into a curb with my front passenger wheel/tire. My front passenger lower control arm got pretty bent. The Jeep now pulls to the right and to go straight I have to keep the wheel at 10-10:30...

Long story short; Took the TJ to the shop for an alignment (I know, I know. I could do it myself. But I was in a crunch). ANYWAY, they said they couldn’t do it for 2 reasons. 1) “Track bar is loose” - their explanation was there was play in the tie rod end of the track bar (the driver side...

I recently replaced all the steering linkage and front end parts minus the ball joints on my 2002 TJ. It is driving fine down the road, but the shop we took it to wouldn't align it because of all the play on the steering wheel. I am new to working on Jeeps, this is the first one I've owned. Can...

Hi everyone. I’ve recently had my 5 inch lifted tj alignment done and these are the results. My problem is that the Jeep goes great . I like the way it hits bumps and rides but I have a issue with wandering steering. I’m constantly adjusting the wheel to drive straight and when I hit the break...

While an avid reader of this forum, this is my first posting. I purchased a hardtop and full doors for my 97 TJ - no issues with the top or passenger door but the driver's door sits a little high and is making for a hard close/open. A closer look at the clunking noise and it looks like the...

Just recently finished up my 4 inch suspension lift by Rough country, I know I’ll need an alignment but I also need my camber bolts adjusted I believe. I don’t know much about how the camber bolts work or how to adjust them, I had to put new ones in because I had to cut the old ones out when...

Hello all, I always find the advice this forum gives really helpful. I recently got to the business of replacing my ball joints as they were squealing very badly and audibly. I decided I'd go ahead and replace the steering linkage components, tie rods, and steering damper while I had the axles...

Wrote about the accident about a month ago on here, and haven't really been driving too much. But since then, when I take it up to 50-70mph on mostly the highway, it's wandering all over the road. I'm gonna adjust the toe-in sometime this week. Is there anything else I should be worried about?

Been searching the threads, but I'm seeing mixed answers. Is it necessary (must do immediately) to have a front end alignment after replacing upper and lower front control arms?

OK, so this is not a TJ specific question and happens to be happening on my daughter's '99 XJ. You guys are very knowledgeable so I thought I'd float it here. I rotate the tires regularly in a "rear straight up to front & criss cross front to rear" pattern. All tires are wearing evenly and...

History: 2004 LJ - OME 2" lift, 1.25" JKS body lift, JKS upper/lower control arms, track bars and sway bar links, all of which are completely adjustable. The Jeep is in the shop for an alignment and wheel balance. This is a performance shop that deals with 4x4 off road vehicles as well as track...
