Who knows...the drop pitman arm was already on there before I got the xj...
But before the steering refresh(new ends) the alignment was perfect and the steering wheel was straight...

So do I have to adjust them again?
I finally got to drive the Cherokee and This tie rod is weird...
Depending on the turns that I make it doesn't stay straight or it goes back to straight...
Sometimes it's over to the right and sometimes it's tilted to the left...

Offer free wine coolers and you'll have a dozen JK owners over to watch and tell you which 50" light bar is the best.
