Your comment regarding being more precise by using one millimeter (.039") increments instead of one sixteenth of an inch is all well and very good. My concern is you have done nothing to qualify or calibrate your two independant measuring scales. If you are going to use two different tape-measures, you should at least take a second measurement after swapping the rear tape-measure for the front and the front tape-measure to the rear. Then confirm the second measurement is the same as the first measurement. If the second measurement is different from the first measurement, your tape-measures are not calibrated equally. Maybe the hook on one tape-measure is bent or more worn than the other. It would be more precise to use a single measuring device for both front and rear measurements. Quality Assurance my friend... I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you, -Paul

there's also inverted y steering, where the drag link goes from 1 tire up to the rod that connects the other tire to the steering box (such as in a XJ) Putting the vehicle down on the rotors like this is ok ONLY if your rotors have retaining screws, without that they can cant over (on some vehicles the only thing that holds the rotors in place is the wheel, or sometimes people don't put the retaining screw (s) back in) You can get the same effect using jack stands under the front axle, preferably with the vehicle as close to level as possible (though a inch or two won't make a big difference)
@IOwnCalculus5 жыл бұрын
I was thinking the same thing. With any Jeep front suspension, the toe adjustment shouldn't be affected much by where the axle is in its vertical travel, so whatever jackstand height you have should be close enough. Ball joints shouldn't impact toe angle at all on a solid front axle unless they're so worn that you need to replace them anyway.

Hello this is your neighborhood angry indian here once again and ok guys i took alignment class from snap on, been doing them for years and save your $70.00 bucks guys and ill tell you why. if you are a diy guy then let me give you the best advice..first off thats all fine if you guys want to blow money on crap that you dont have to save that money for some thing like another cordless impact or some other tool you really could use and heres why. if your tie rod ends take a crap fine but you dont have to have it aligned necessarily the way ive done this for years and has allways served me well first disconect tie rod end from stearing knuckle and this next step is the one that will keep your jeep in line because if you baught your jeep used like i did, chances are the knuckle head before you didnt change or maintain squat when they owned it, so you are the one who's doing it now...so do not ever remove let alone turn that locking nut for the tie rod end.. most oem replacement parts have to be the same dimensions period and of the same qaulity thats why the are an oem certified part. This is on any vehicle period. ive never had to take my jeep to have it aligned ever. This is not a hard concept to understand..if you cant get the tie rod end loose i suggest you spend your money on a tool by matco and heres the tool part #sps31. Now thats matco brand i dont know how much they are because a mechanic buddy and co worker at the time gave it to me. When you take off your tie rod end with out moving the locking nut, then just simply compare your new oem tie rod end to the new one and itshould be as tall and equal in height as the old one like i said fellas this works on all vehicles not just jeeps it also applies to trucks and cars and even mini vans..just to push this alot further i replaced every component in my front end by doing this very method on all of the components such as drag links,tie rod ends and etc, as long as you pay attention to how you dismantle tie rod ends and drag links you wont have to spend money on an alignment..they only time that ive had to send some one off to the alignment shop is when the customer tried it himself and ended up botching the whole thing and generally i did his alignment at my personal shop and guesse what guys i dont have a rotary lift either you have to be smarter than the car truck minivan, etc. and thats how you do it...and before some one has a fit and say oh well what about replacing the old locking nut wont that hurt it and i will tell you its just a locking nut its only tightened to about 15 to 20 ftlbs thats it and its not the space shutlle folks its just a locking nut plain and simple.....as far as the tool i mentioned you dont have to get the matco brand or snap on brand you could probably get it at harbor freight for half the price...so there you have it. now if your doing a lift kit the tool mentioned in his video does not set camber or thrust angle period if you put a lift kit on any vehicle it automaticly changes the geometry and you will have to take it to a proffesional like me and then all the parimeters can be checked and if its not correct the machine will detect it that tool only covers toe adjustment and not the other parameters of the alignment thats why we go to college to learn about these things...well thanks for reading the post just thought id add a comon sense tip to share with the diy community. thanks god bless america. this is your neighborhood angry indian once again..mr.b MAGA KAGA 45 2020🤔🤔🤔🤯🤯🤯🤯🙏👮♀️🙏👮♀️🙏🙏🙏

@TheRayDog5 жыл бұрын
Camber isn't adjustable on a Wrangler. Caster is a function of where driveshaft vibration starts (when lifted), so isn't _generally_ adjustable. Thrust angle can only be properly done with full sets of adjustable arms, which a lot of people don't have. Toe is the most easily knocked of alignment settings and the one we have to worry about. But yes, more accurately called a "toe setting video."

When you change out your control arms or ball joints, or give it a lift, often the camber and caster will be off causing uneven tire wear. This goes for most vehicles. Many shops just "toe and go". It will ride straight for a few hundred miles, but the tire will wear sideways and you are back to pulling. I insist on a print ou. These guys will say it dont matter when its in the red by a mile.

BMW and Matrix on every point. Many vehicles have these adjustments. Where the control arm mounts to the frame. You loosen the nut and turn the bolt. You will see a cam and alignment marks. This shifts the arm in or out a little. There is one of these on both mounting points to the frame. For I just use a level and tilt top in slightly.

If it's not a jl maybe it's a lower torque spec.

Can you do this aliment using your tool if the Jeep is on a two posts lift?
@bleepinjeep5 жыл бұрын
It would be better to be on the weight of the vehicle because if any components are slightly warn it will cause the alignment to change slightly.
