I'm trying to get the Jeep back to safe, reliable road conditions. Lots of fixes and upgrades. It is getting so close! I just want to get back to the trails. Music: Guess I'll Never Know - TrackTribe
By any chance the shop that did the front end work, did they or some other shop perform an alignment that generated the current caster angle ( that the lift system you installed set the suspension to ) . Just curious what its sitting at with that suspensions design and how that compares to the factory spec.
Hi Charles, thanks for your comment. I did have an alignment done at a different shop. They mentioned using ball joints with a different angle but said it’s close enough. I don’t know what the angles are at though. I may contact them to see if they kept the data so I can research the ball joint issue
@@aj.adventures I would contact them ( dropping by would probably be the best ) and if they have that info stored to give you a printout copy as well as explain where they felt the improvement could be made. I am guessing that depending on the ball joint system used that they can incorporate an offset unit that would give either a caster change or a camber change and so more than likely it was one of those two angles that they were looking at. If one has adjustable trailing arms then those get used for the caster change but only if that doesn't throw the front driveshaft ujoint angles out of whack. Its no wonder that modifying a vehicle turns a persons front pockets inside out LOL. But for now if its close enough and handles good and does not cause undue tire wear, it can always be addressed down the road a ways literally.
