When you let go of your steering wheel, how straight does your XJ track down the road?

Mine wanders to the right because when the drivers side wheel is pointed forward the left wheel is a little ****-eyed to the outside, how can I fix this?

Firestone alignments don't help, and yes I've tried to adjust the tie rod for toe in but I think that moves both wheels at the same time.

 

Check that all your steering componets are straight. a slight bend could throw it off.

 

mine drives dead nutz.

x2 probably something bent.

 

Mine fly's strait as an arrow, something is probably bent or worn out

 

mine also, 5" of lift too and it rolls straight

 

I let go all the time to drink the coffee......goes staright as long as Im on the road, little different if Im in the dirt

 

Mine tracks straight on a smooth road. Due to needing to adjust my caster, off 2.5 deg, and having old tires it will wander a little. I have 3.5" lift.
Obviously Firestone doesn't know how to adjust a Tie Rod End. Most shops won't touch caster, which causes most wandering issues. You could, pop the TRE off at the left wheel and twist it in a turn or 2, then put it back into the knuckle. Then adjust your own alignment: http://go.jeep-xj.info/HowtoAlignment.htm.

 

Alignment was fine until I got new [used] wheels, I wonder if one is warped?

 

ill drive right into the ditch if i let go of the wheel

 

Mine will go straight as an arrow even on the florida roads with the rain grading...

 

Sometimes I can drive straight for hundreds of feet, but then sometimes I have to fight her to keep out of the gutter. But then again, half the streets here are more like triangles than proper flat streets.

 

To scared to let go of the wheel... course i live in michigan and our ability to make a decent road is a joke. Will do a little wander if i am on a road that is decent enough....

 

Mine goes pretty darn straight... for doing my own alignment 2 years ago.
