Always happy to see a new episode

Dave-I love that you are sharing your experience with the world! I personally have been blessed with your patience and your willingness to teach others about vehicles and how they are put together! 😊 Keep up the great work! Feel better soon Jess!!!!!

Connecticut is SO sweaty this year! LOL 13:34 HAHAHAHAAA! Hell yeah! Drives ok for a beater Jeep! Thanx for the vid buddy!

I have to say, it takes real skill to navigate from caster angles and geometry to chili rings. Well done. That's why this is an up and comer right here.

Jess is an absolute BABE and her personality is wonderful I love how she likes to help on the working on all the different stuff you post.. she mounted that tire like a champ I tried to talk my wife into helping me manually mount tires the only participation was airing the tires to correct pressure after I got the beads to pop on the wheel

Love the channel. Liked and shared. A big hello from Upper east Tennessee. All my best.

My 82 CJ is dangerous to drive . Stock height , new springs , ball joints , shackles, the works. It’s all over the road with tight steering. You just saved the day, my caster measured at 2 deg . The pinion is pointed towards the sky! I literally parked this Jeep in storage 7 years ago . This Jeep is very nice , very original and it’s an automatic. I can’t figure out how it got like that . I know that it had worn ball joints and we replaced literally everything with stock parts (even springs ) It was at that point I noticed it drove like crap even after an alignment. Now I know what direction to go. Thanks

Love the Moxie hat. Been 20 years after moving south since I've had any, just recently found out that Cracker Barrel sells it in their gift shop areas!

My 83 Dodge Ram is at 1.2 degree caster. I'm gonna go with a 2 degree shim and set it at the high side of the factory tolerance (3.5 degree) Hopefully that'll do it. If not, I'll do a 4 degree. You described the symptoms I was having perfectly and explained how to correct it. Thank you! (My ride 83 Dodge Ram W150 with Skyjacker 4" spring lift / 33x12.5x15 MT's)

Really good tips fam!!! Thank you for sharing!! Yeah the heat can be brutal, I can def relate!

Thank You Sir !! best info i have seen yet & seems affordable as well , my 79 cj5 is awful to drive , i need to check the steering box , but all the rest is fairly tight !! Thanks again!! new toYour channel , glad i came across it !! It is Hot here in East Texas right now !! Take Care

G'day to my Favourite mad Ginger Family!! 🙂

I'm glad I got to watch this one I was going to do a lift on mine after watching this video I decided not to do it because I don't know how to do it awesome video

Thoroughly enjoy your content. Good info on procedures and products. Also the comedy. Subscribed

Good video, I just did this on my old jeep after changing axles to wagoneer axles , drives great now

thanks for the tips. I have a 1991 YJ basically stock. Keeps on running! Hope Yes ankle gets better. Onward!

Good and informative video....Thanks

Great video love the jeep

Incredible! This old man just learned something new! You have explained this better than anyone else I have watched or asked. I sent you an email with a couple of questions. Just subscribed and will be following for more tips & tricks, Thanks!

Sorry about your boo boo Jess. Great info on the suspension, thanks for maybe saving a life. 👍👍🇨🇦

Looking at my 3” spring lifted CJ which I think drives pretty well has some front shims installed. They look aluminum and probably about 2 degrees, but we installed them 20 years ago backwards, to make the driveshaft angle better, not thinking about caster. I had the Jeep aligned recently and caster is +1 on both sides. I haven’t tried measuring using your technique I’m at least going to rotate those shims around for fun, might try some 4 degree wedges later.

Facts or opinion or just general info. Whatever you throw out there is much appreciated bud.

Hey, my guy I hope u had a bless day and a great week🙏I apologize for anything that happen🙏keep making great content. I’ll be waiting for a turbo video😂🙏I appreciate everything you told me I learn a lot in my time and I want to thank you. stay bless much love to you guys🙏

Nice one!!! Your subs have really exploded!!! Caster is a really overlooked angle. I learned most of what I know abought doing wheel alignments from older mechanics and using old alignment machines. These kids now a days are like if it's in the green it's good. A note: ideally you want +0.5 degrees more in the right to account for road crown. Not really possible on Solid Front axle unless you cut the inner C and turn it, and in my mind not worth it if it is driving good. On my Ranger I uses 79 Bronco axles and extended radius arms. Then It becomes a quest to find an operating angle that gives a good camber angle and a good driveline angle. (I have no idea how much lift it has it clears 37s on a Ranger 5.5 EB coils). Fortunately, there are camber inserts for the Dana 44 and I think we ended up with around 5 degrees. Wow It's probably been 15 years LOL. So after all the long windedness Front wheel drive and non power steering cars have less caster, like almost none and power steering cars and trucks have more now that you have power steering to overcome the larger amounts of caster. And as you stated more caster makes the car more stable on the road at faster speeds. Sorry about the randomness of all of that. LOL I've been busy and need to get caught up on a lot of peoples content. Keep cranking them out!!

Never owned a CJ/Wrangler so I can't talk about that condition. I of course have owned other Jeep SUVs that didn't have any steering problems. You are a pretty good and informative auto authority and great learner so keep this channel going, with Jess, as we all are listening to you. I really enjoyed the shoebox also.

Great info. I don’t know if I’ll ever use it but I can tell you know what your talking about. Some of the issues you went over, I had back in high school with my Jeep. I’m lucky I never died! The shims would have fixed my problem. Shimming it and getting the ball joints back to the right angle will probably help them last longer too.

Wow Sir, I finally found a video addressing exactly the issue in my jeep including the fact that I have an 83 jeep with 77 frame. I have spent crazy money putting band aids on m jeep and getting a bit closer but NEVER fixing the core issue. I pray/hope that my issue is the same as yours and can't wait to install and try it out. The wandering in the steering has perplexed professionals around me and myself but from what you described, I hope i have found the issue. I will comment again but SINCERELY, thank you for this video!!!!!!

Good.job👍👍👏👏👏cool jeep ❤

Great video just subscribed. I’ve been also busy changing angles. Question is. Does your jeep return to center coming out of a turn ? Mine doesn’t. Thanks. Bob from Bucks PA

Nice video! Could you link the leak eye bolt you used as well.

I love how you talk about Shims ... hahaha over here thats what we call fellas who dress up as Sheela's!! ;-)

My 05 Rubicon is a nightmare to steer. Wish I had never put a 4.5 short arm lift on.

Hi, I love the video. Quick question. after adding the shims will the axle naturally rotate back once you tighten everything & load up the spring? Or is there some special way to rotate the axle back so shims sit on the spring perch correctly? Thanks in advance!

👍👍

How much did the shim affect your pinion angle?

Does that change your front drive shaft pinion angle enough to make a negative difference?

Comment for the algorithm. Great video !

So you are going for positive caster angle?

Aldean concert. Wait. What?
