I just did the driveway tape measure alignment and mine goes straight and no odd wear. After a hundred feet or so it'll wonder slightly either left or right depending on the road condition but that's not the Jeep's fault. I tried to take it to a shop before that but the only people who would touch it was the off-road shop and they wanted more than a 2-week reservation.

My alignment was done at a 4wheel drive shop where I have lots of work done the owner has been in business for well over 30+ years in same location. He has done lifts, gears, lockers, whole front ends you name it and the best part he is very reasonable. The cost for the alignment $55 that included the Dbl. Adj. Track Bar and the HD Adj. U/LCA's drives like a dream and no uneven tire ware after 2300 mi.


The big alignment shops really don't want our business as they consider them to be a real PITA because all the numbers aren't in the books. I've been down that road and came out on the S*it end of the stick.

Yeah I've had them straight up tell me they didn't want to do my Jeep, so I got into a huge argument with the manager about how everything is adjustable just like it was from the factory and how the only thing they have to touch is the tie rod to adjust toe and maybe the track bar to adjust the axle position.

Holy old thread, anyway my alightment is evidently good because I have almost no uneven front tire wear, still pulls a little to the passenger side but I just live with it.
