@wayoflife I have long arms.

@wayoflife Would this apply to a 5" lift also?

Great write up!! Thank you

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 don't know what Chat gpt is but yes I know I am asking about numbers that are close. Just want to make sure I do it right. I been setting my toe and steering wheel myself on my last 7 Jeeps and have never paid myself for an alignment on them. This Jeep has had the alignment done twice under...

I have 4.88 gears and I am only taking it back because they said they would check it ONCE for free after I make adjustments since they (The Jeep Dealer) are not allow to mess with the contorl arms.

So I am at 3.8° based on my level readings on the axle and my floor. The Alignment print out shows 3.3° so my reading is .5 more positive. So if adjust my arm's and get my reading to 91.5° at the axle I should be 4.5 caster. So based on the alignment printout and my measurements the caster...

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...

I have used the DIY thread in the pass for toe, steering wheel. My thrust angle has been off since the Jeep has been lifted but now a little more. 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...

Dave thank you!! The axles are oringal. I have a 2017 Jeep JKU Rubicon Recon. I just checked my wheels and they are 17x9 with 4.53 back spacing, no spacers. Not sure if tires make a difference but I have Cooper SST 37x12.5x17. I appreciate your help!! Frank

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...

So I am within 1/16" to 1/8" toe. Yes 0.18 degrees.

Would I adjust the front arm's longer or shorter to get to 4.5 caster? Would I be adjusting the top or lower arms? Thanks

I just had a new complete front axle installed under warranty. I have a 5" long arm kit with adjustable control arm's. I need to adjust the front arm's to get around 5 degree caster. Attached is the current alignment after they installed the front axle at the dealer. Do I adjust the upper or...

Yes in the rear.

What to replace my rear sway bar bushings. Stick with oem replacements or poly bushings? Need frame mount and bushings for the stock links.

Not sure. I did not hit anything and there is no damaged to the outside of the mount. I thought it was years of wear and tear and then just came off. But now looking at it the welds are still on the axle. I was driving on a 3 mile graded road going to Black Mountain in Hinkley Hinkley CA and...

Here are some pictures. Does it look like it had bad welds or ? I also included is pictures before it tore off.

My rear trackbar mount ripped/torn off this week. It is a Fabtech weld on mount that went over the oringal. Half of the original mount and the Fabtech gusset is still on the axle. It has been on the Jeep since 2018 and 50k miles. A few months ago I installed a drag link flip kit and tie rod. The...
