@wayoflife I have long arms.

@wayoflife Would this apply to a 5" lift also?

Great write up!! Thank you

I adjusted the front upper control arms 2 turns shorter and that put my angle finder at 91.6° and 91.5°. Since I adjusted the caster do I need to make any other adjustments? Frank

I don't know what Chat gpt is but yes I know I am asking about numbers that are close. Just want to make sure I do it right. I been setting my toe and steering wheel myself on my last 7 Jeeps and have never paid myself for an alignment on them. This Jeep has had the alignment done twice under...

I have 4.88 gears and I am only taking it back because they said they would check it ONCE for free after I make adjustments since they (The Jeep Dealer) are not allow to mess with the contorl arms.

So I am at 3.8° based on my level readings on the axle and my floor. The Alignment print out shows 3.3° so my reading is .5 more positive. So if adjust my arm's and get my reading to 91.5° at the axle I should be 4.5 caster. So based on the alignment printout and my measurements the caster...

I have not adjusted anything yet. On the front I was checking my Caster angle using the front axle flat bases. The level is saying 92.2°. I tried the top of the ball joints but the numbers are all over the place. My alignment print out shows my Caster is at 3.3° and the DIY Alignment link says...

I bought the Jeep new in 2018 and had it lifted at 200 miles and now it has 50k miles. Jeep just installed a complete new front 44 axle under warranty. When they diagnosed the axle was bent the alignment showed the thrust angle was .20°. Before they installed the new axle I removed and...

I have used the DIY thread in the pass for toe, steering wheel. My thrust angle has been off since the Jeep has been lifted but now a little more. Before taken the Jeep to have the front axle assembly warrantied I put on all new heim joints and made sure the control arm's are equal length. I am...

Dave thank you!! The axles are oringal. I have a 2017 Jeep JKU Rubicon Recon. I just checked my wheels and they are 17x9 with 4.53 back spacing, no spacers. Not sure if tires make a difference but I have Cooper SST 37x12.5x17. I appreciate your help!! Frank

I measured my rear axle and the passenger side is sitting 1/4 closer to the front. Would that translate to - 0.42 shown on the alignment? I have a 8 arm long travel kit with adjustable front upper and lower arms but the rear uppers are fixed and the rear lower are adjustable. Would it be...

So I am within 1/16" to 1/8" toe. Yes 0.18 degrees.

Would I adjust the front arm's longer or shorter to get to 4.5 caster? Would I be adjusting the top or lower arms? Thanks

I just had a new complete front axle installed under warranty. I have a 5" long arm kit with adjustable control arm's. I need to adjust the front arm's to get around 5 degree caster. Attached is the current alignment after they installed the front axle at the dealer. Do I adjust the upper or...
