Did they give you the alignment print out? we need the specs, caster (which you adjust with shims) will not cause a pull, if you have excessive camber (bent axle tube) this could cause a pull and can be adjusted with offset ball joints. There are many contributing factors........ specs would help diagnose

 

i'll see if they gave me a print out sheet and post up the specs here.

 

Okay sorry for the delay things have been pretty crazy and i finally found the specs. Heres the Front specs

Cross Camber Actual: -0.02 Before -0.02 Spec. Range -1.0, 1.0
Cross Caster Actual: 0.1 Before 0.1 Spec Range -1.3, 1.3
Cross SAI Actual: -0.05 Before -0.05
Total Toe Actual: 0.29 Before 0.29 Spec Range 0.00, 0.45
Cross Turn Diff. none

Okay if anyone needs other specs like the Front Left,Front Right,Rear Left, or Rear Right i have those also so just let me know, thanks for any help.

 

Caster does cause a pull. The vehicle will pull to the side with the least amount of caster. Caster will not wear the tires though. But looking at the specs, there should be no problems. I still leaning on a tire pull. If you're sitting still with the steering wheel straight, will the steering wheel move when you rev the engine? If it does, you may need a steering box.

 

Imho ...yes excessive caster might cause a pull in a cherokee, not very likley though,it would wander all over the road first, lol. did he list the camber lead? I agree more than likley a tire pull

 

get a tapeline, pick a point on each tire thread (facing the front), turn all the way to the right get someone to hold it on one end, measure, straighten out the wheel, measure the same points, turn all the way to the left, measure. your tolerance should be about 1/16-1/8 inch.

 

btw, if you have a lift kit, the tolerance sometimes moves up to 1/4 inch. i've never seen more but i've heard of 6in lift, with 7/16 tolerance parked downhill on a steep angle.

 

The tires are only about 4-6k old, and were rotated about a month ago if that helps, the pull was alot worse before i got the new tires and an alignment but never fixed. The last time i went in they rotated the tires and told me i need to have chimes installed. Anyone know a SF bay area shops that will do the shimes for me?
