One wheel points out, other is straight

I recently replaced my tie rod and drag link, did the home alignment posted here and toe is currently set 1/16 in. The problem is, when my wheel is straight the front passenger front tire appears to point out a bit, while the driver front tire appears to be straight. Should I adjust the tie rod, or drag link? Running a Currie tie rod and stock drag link flipped. Thanks

Mine look the same. As long as you know your measurements are correct - it's a bit of an optical illusion because of the body lines on the JK.

Tire wear look ok? They are due for a rotation.

I second the optical illusion. Mine look the same and it drives me nuts. I know it's right because I set the toe when I replaced my tie rod and drag link with the Currie as well.

make sure your wheels are pointing straight and the toe is set properly then adjust your steering wheel so it's centered.

Thanks for the feedback so far. Toe is set, steering wheel is straight, drives straight. Guess it's an optical illusion!

Double and triple check your measurements and trust that and move on.
