    Alignment specs for 5" long arm kit?

    Do you think the pull will get better with milage or it will remain the same? Does Everything look good to you on the alignment?

    Alignment specs for 5" long arm kit?

    With the old Cooper Mt tires had no pull. I just squared up the axles to the frame and installed the Toyos and had it aligned and now it pulls hard right no matter if I drive in the center of the road or on the wrong side of the road. I figured driving in the center would reduce the right pull...

    Alignment specs for 5" long arm kit?

    I have a Teraflex 9550 stabilizer. I have removed it and it made no difference. The steering is nice and tight. I can pull down my driveway with no hands on the steering wheel and it will stay straight but with in 50 feet the steering wheel will turn about 1 inch right with no hands on it. When...

    Alignment specs for 5" long arm kit?

    Both the lower and uppers are adjustable. The Jeep pulls to the right even driving in the middle of the road or on the wrong side of the road. The dealer says it is radial pull. The tires are brand new Toyo Mt 37x12.5x17, I always heard they pull to the right but I can't imagine them pulling...

    Alignment specs for 5" long arm kit?

    The Jeep dealer installed a brand new complete front axle and adjusted all the control arm's and did alignment and the Jeep pulls to the right pretty bad. The axle came with new ball joints, the adjustable track bar has 2k miles on it and the aluminum flipped drag link and aluminum tie rod has...

    I have a question about adjusting the lower control arms to center the axle. Do I want the jounce stops to make contact with the lift kit bump stop extensions installed or removed and to make contact with the axle pad?

    I adjusted the front upper control arms 2 turns shorter and that put my angle finder at 91.6° and 91.5°. Since I adjusted the caster do I need to make any other adjustments? Frank

    I have not adjusted anything yet. On the front I was checking my Caster angle using the front axle flat bases. The level is saying 92.2°. I tried the top of the ball joints but the numbers are all over the place. My alignment print out shows my Caster is at 3.3° and the DIY Alignment link says...

    I bought the Jeep new in 2018 and had it lifted at 200 miles and now it has 50k miles. Jeep just installed a complete new front 44 axle under warranty. When they diagnosed the axle was bent the alignment showed the thrust angle was .20°. Before they installed the new axle I removed and...

Before taken the Jeep to have the front axle assembly warrantied I put on all new heim joints and made sure the control arm's are equal length. I am...

    Alignment specs for 5" long arm kit?

    I measured my rear axle and the passenger side is sitting 1/4 closer to the front. Would that translate to - 0.42 shown on the alignment? I have a 8 arm long travel kit with adjustable front upper and lower arms but the rear uppers are fixed and the rear lower are adjustable. Would it be...
