Default Rebuilt front end and cannt get alignment right

Ok first off I bought a rebuild kit from ebay and am very happy with the parts. Ok I put all the parts in no torque wrench so snug till tight got every thing where it should be and used my numbers from old front end and counted threads and now it feels like my tires are going to rip off the Jeep,driver side tire points out and the passenger side looks stright.

Unless you can align "old school" yourself I think you'll need to bring it to a shop...JMO

you have to measure from one tire to the other and spilt the diff.. measurein the front of the front wheels and in the rear of the rear wheels to make sure your numbers are about the same

Try to search I just read a post about a DIY alighnment but I cant remember who wrote it. Sorry. I do know if you have the 242 transfer case but you want to measure from tire to tire and "0" it out but the 231 transfer I beleive the toe is different. Sorry I cant help you anymore.
