JEEP WRANGLER TOE ALIGNMENT // EASY AT-HOME DIY

[@antidisturbiox]

Thans bro! terrific explication!

[@timothydigerolamo]

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

[@JDCarsChannel]

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

[@philphalin7788]

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.

[@CameronDC-Grimes]

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.

[@nickkarbowski1308]

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.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Yes-- correct

[@ravenoverlanding]

Hey man solid video, but i have one tyre facing straight and one out. How do i fix the other tyre and face it straight without moving the second tyre.

[@haileyringer1715]

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.

[@papa54321]

As tires would bent when moving them.. arent you dupposed to lift the front to do that?

[@jerrywhalen2100]

How do you get the passenger side tire straight first maybe they're both turn to the left but even

[@johnphillipsjr7238]

🤦‍♂️🤡🥴

[@spencerrobinson1009]

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.

A video on adjusting camber ❤

[@andyschuldt7580]

Great video. Thx for the helpful hints.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad it was helpful!

[@buddyruff208]

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]

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.

[@veesoho93]

Hrear video ! Any torque values on the adjustment screws?

[@Papa_Tobie]

I found this video very informative keep it up thanks!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Glad it was helpful, Cody! Thanks for the feedback!

[@steveheathcock6843]

Looks good.

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks!

[@Rogue.Rider0]

Well do you turn clockwise or counter?

[@Mr19853]

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

[@YankeeinSC1]

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]

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

[@YankeeinSC1]

@@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.

[@DerveyZ]

I like the intro on the grom! love your vid's keep it up!

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thank you! I appreciate the support!

[@jonathanlagunes9458]

Thx bro

[@jergernice1]

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.

[@vsvpdom]

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]

I want to know too

[@Papa_Tobie]

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

[@JDCarsChannel]

Thanks for clarifying Cody! 🤙🏼

[@ghernandez6457]

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]

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.

[@historybuff9276]

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

[@insideroller]

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]

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

[@terrancesayers5278]

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]

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).

[@miguelfloriano9039]

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]

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

[@jjrock5]

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]

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

[@phototec]

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).

[@JDCarsChannel]

You are correct sir! I misspoke!

[@billyclark1214]

It's supposed to be toe in not toe out

Made this harder than it had to be.
