How to Perform an Alignment at Home XJ Cherokee

[@96XJ_MM]

Great video, very informative, I’ll be trying it soon, about to install CavFab steering on my 96 XJ.

I love that track bar hack definitely a keeper in the tricks of the trade

[@core4x4fab]

It just makes the job so much easier

I put this on a 300k mile xj with mega sloppy steering and it surprisingly 'cured' about 50% of the slop. It was a night and day difference. New ball joints and tie rod ends are next up.

I prefer a sleeve adjustable track bar, makes thing much easier especially when working alone. Cost is close enough to make it worth the difference. I think I paid 125$ for my sleeve adjustable track bar. All good information and presented very well. Great job to you both. God bless and stay well.

[@core4x4fab]

Thank you!

Another good video. The bleeping jeep tool, although a bit spendy, is great for setting toe.

[@cablenowadays6586]

Flat metal rulers with C Vise grips clamped to the rotor will work and usually people have that stuff lying around

[@cablenowadays6586]

Really can’t wait for this trackbar to come out. Can’t find a company that will let me just buy a trackbar with a johnny joint and not a heim and bushing on the axle end.

Thanks for the XJ suspension series! I now understand a lot more about my XJ that I bought with 6.5" lift. Been trying to figure out the clunks I hear. Just went and looked to find the track bar wasn't adjusted so the driver side coil has been slapping and rubbing the track bar mount. I haven't fully understood what the track bar did until now, thanks!

[@core4x4fab]

No problem! We love the XJ. We made our first parts for the Jeep Cherokee, so it has a special place at Core. We're glad that we could help in some way!

[@bdd1469]

Good video, here are a couple of pointers for better accuracy. If your toe isn't set perfectly and the tires are not perfectly straight, your wheel base measurements will not be accurate. Eye balls are ok for this, but strings or lasers are better. Always set toe with the weight of the vehicle on the ground as toe changes along with castor and camber when the suspension cycles.

Great information. You guys are the best. I will use your information on my ninety one x j cherokee❤

[@core4x4fab]

Thanks! Glad we could help!

[@kevinclevenger8741]

Another great video .if you make the long arm kit for the wj .will we see a video on it ????

[@core4x4fab]

Yes! We will make a video announcement when the WJ Knuckle swap kit is launched on our site

[@alangrant5278]

Great video!!!!

[@tonydrummond3709]

Great videos and I will definitely have them close by when I start lifting my XJ this weekend.

[@pra3t0rian]

Have you thought about doing a junkyard high pinion XJ Dana 30 to help with the driveline angle?

[@core4x4fab]

Absolutely! That's actually one of my favorite upgrades. Just didn't have the time to find one when we did this jeep, unfortunately.

[@tonydrummond3709]

Did you need to get a longer front driveshaft. I've got 5.25" lift and I moved the front axle about 1.5" forward to center the tire in the wheel well and my driveshaft extended out about 2-2.5"

[@brianprzysiecki4704]

More on the pinion angles please , I am finishing up my 8.8 swap and Hp 30 zj , drives floaty down the road … making adjustments to the front to see if it alleviate ,,, will the rear pinion angle cause drivability issues?

[@jeremys.4423]

The rear pinion angle being out of whack will cause driveline vibrations

[@code_xj]

How on earth did u tighten the jam nuts while on the jeep?? I cant fit a wrench anywhere in there

[@core4x4fab]

😳It ain't easy sometimes, huh? 😆

[@code_xj]

@@core4x4fab no I had to tighten them off the truck lol.

[@craigwood3498]

What kit’s did you use on drag link and steering

[@starEX-drink]

Wow

[@freeridin12345]

so what did u set toe to where im at the roads groves are bad and 0 toe seems work better for mine but everyone says 1/8

[@code_xj]

1/16

[@FaTaLlYiLl]

My only negative here is that you spent all that time WJ swapping a LOW pinion dana 30..... Why did you not pick up a high pinion first?.....
