these worth having?
i havent seen these before and i came across them... just wondering if they are ever really needed? i dont see how lift or anything would make you need them unless you bent something...

Alignments only go out if somthing is bent or broken. For camber to be out on the front of a jeep would mean you have either bent the knuckle or one of your ball joints is failing, both of which you would need to replace. So cambered ball joints. I dont think so. It was a good idea but if you fix what is wrong it shouldnt be an issue on our strait axle. Ha

I remember hearing the adjustable ones give you 1-2° more articulation. Unless yours are shot, don't worry about it because swapping them out takes a long day with a big hammer.

I had to put one in my xj. Old axle was out 2 1/2 degrees on both sides, went and got new axle from jy and one side was out just enough that i needed it. It fixed it. Mine was more expensive than that at Orielys though

yea besides the ball joints there is not adjustment for it. Thats another thing that gets me . I went to go have pro align my jeep and they wanted to charge me 75$ I looked at him and said sir there is only one adjustment and if anything it is only about 1/16 of an inch out you are really wanting to charge me that much for that? He said "Yes son becuase your jeep is all Jacked up"

You use the codes where you hold down the alt button and type a number then release the alt key the code for the degree symbol is "Press and hold the ALT key and type the number 0176"

I want mine aligned because my steering wheel isn't straight, and I'd rather not mess with the air bag to fix it.
