JEEP WRANGLER TOE ALIGNMENT // EASY AT-HOME DIY

Рет қаралды 70,900

4 жыл бұрын

Today on JD Cars we’ll be doing a DIY toe alignment on our Jeep Wrangler. I’ve used our 2014 JKU for demonstration but this process should be the same across all Wranglers. The Jeep’s toe was too far out which was causing it to pull to either direction. Bringing the toe in a bit has helped quite a bit. You should aim for the toe to be about 1/16 to ⅛ of an inch out.
I hope you enjoyed the video. Please leave any future video suggestions down below in the comments. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe for more Jeep content!

You’re still towed out. You said 83+5/8 in the front and 83+1/2 in the back of the tires. If I’m not mistaken you should be slightly towed in, not towed out

I might have said the numbers backwards in the video. My apologies

@philphalin7788 3 жыл бұрын

83 5/8 should be the rear measurement and 83 1/2 should be in the front. The bigger number should be in the back to allow for the wheels to open when accelerating. If that's what you had then you should be spot on.

He started at 83-¾"(83.750 inches) in the front of front tires and 83-⅜"(83.375 inches) in the back of the front tires.

I also have this problem right now, looking for something to fix this also, tried to go to a jeep dealership and they said they couldn’t do it because of my custom rims and tires.

Making the levels "level" on the sidewall is not that big of a deal. What's most important is where the level contacts the side wall, especially with side lugged offroad tires. Being consistent on sidewall contact will give you a more accurate measurement.

im .5 degre toe out.. well thats what steer smarts insructed my auto shop to do. the alignment shows .3 each side. any way seem to have helped my shimmy but im no sure i like the way it drives now.

I need help with my 06 wrangler with my steinjagger front end, I could give this one a shot but I don’t know the exact measurements it supposed to be with 1 inch spacers

@JDCarsChannel 3 жыл бұрын

The toe adjustment should be the same, even with spacers. To be cautious, you could go 1/8-1/4" bigger (wider in the front).

@ghernandez6457 3 жыл бұрын

When it was misaligned did it affect your steering? My jk veers to the right if I let the steering wheel go. I have a 2.5 lift with and I have dropped the axle once to get it trussed, I don't know if this affects alignment or not.

@Chandler7157 2 жыл бұрын

My JK has veered to the right ever since I got it. No lift, No new fancy suspension.. the only thing I've done is put AT tires on (Still same size as stock tires.) I'm gonna try this to see if it fixes it.

@buddyruff208 Жыл бұрын

How did you fix your steering wheel? Did you do another video on that process? TIA and sorry if that is a dumb question. Great video!

@barnabyjonesdangerdog758 Жыл бұрын

You straighten the steering wheel by adjusting the collar on the drag link. Just loosen the two nuts and turn it. It only changes the position of the steering wheel, and doesn't affect the alignment at all.

I dont do much off roading so I run Good Year Wranglers,I'm constantly working on the front end. What makes it 10x's worse is the fact it right hand drive so certain parts are hard to track down. Its used on a mail route so I can't have it tire down longer than a day. Id about give anything to go back in time & find the person that had the bright idea that 4x4 jeeps would be "great" on a mail route,that guy has caused alot of bustes knuckles. The older 2WD jeep DJ's were almost perfect for running a route & rural carriers here & there still use them. I imagine since they worked so good running routes that when they stopped production "that damn guy" ordered RHD Wranglers then everyone else done the same & so begins my nightmare that I'm turning wrenches on 2 or 3 times a week. It get aggravating & if you made it to the end of this comment I apologize. END RANT

1/8” in toe IN (positive toe) means the front measurement needs to be 1/8” LESS than the rear measurement. In other words, 83-1/2” front of tire, 83-5/8” rear of the tire.

@jjrock5 3 жыл бұрын

Did you adjust both tires to get your toe set? If not, isn’t it possible to still have the passenger tire toed out of all your adjustments were on the driver side?

@JDCarsChannel 3 жыл бұрын

Because both front wheels are attached to the same rod (which determines toe angle), it's not possible to independently adjust passenger/driver toe

@miguelfloriano9039 2 жыл бұрын

quick question so you need to subtract the larger back number with the smaller number to get 1/8 of a toe or less?

@JDCarsChannel 2 жыл бұрын

Subtract the smaller front number from the back number to get 1/8 toe in

@vsvpdom 3 жыл бұрын

Which way do you turn the tie rod nut to adjust for toe in or toe out? If I'm not mistaken facing the drivers tire, clockwise for toe in and counter-clockwise for toe out?

@JWard2 3 жыл бұрын

I want to know too

@Papa_Tobie 3 жыл бұрын

Hey boys so if you’re tightening the nut your toe in and loosening will toe out

@insideroller Жыл бұрын

So if you are 83 5/8 in the front and 83 1/2 rear you are still toed out which should be perfect. I thought you were going for toe In, which would be the opposite? An alignment shop just set mine with toe in and it's wandering and really sensitive. They want to charge me again to set it for toe out. I'm going to do it myself, hopefully fixing the issue. Screw them! Toe out should also help prevent death wobble, provided there is nothing else wrong? Ball joints etc... Correct me if I'm wrong.

@JDCarsChannel Жыл бұрын

Yes, I must've misspoken saying toe in. This was set up for slightly toe out. It drove well like this!

@Mr19853 3 жыл бұрын

I do about 1/4 tow in, I never tried 1/8 towed out. How does it handle with towed out?

@YankeeinSC1 Жыл бұрын

like sticking you hand in a baby's poopy diaper....it wanders and after turns the return to center forces are minimized maybe even nonexistant.

@regularguyfixes3142 Жыл бұрын

Mine is 83 3/8 front and 83 5/8 rear. So that means it’s towed in 1/4” ?

@YankeeinSC1 Жыл бұрын

@@regularguyfixes3142 That is my understanding and similar to how I set mine up after brand new wheels purchased. 1500 miles flat towed behind a motorhome and 1200 miles driven, no issues, no wobble, no uneven wear.

@phototec Жыл бұрын

WHAT: You said 83-5/8" in the front and 83-1/2" in the rear, so that makes the front measurement WIDER, which is toe OUT! That is wrong, you need the front tires to be TOE IN (not out).
