Jeep Xj DIY Alignment (Heim Joints)

Dialing in the front end some more!

I just looked at an 2000 XJ that had Heim joints. Never heard of them. Neither has my mechanic, or the guy at the tire shop that does alignments. Learn something new every day! Thanks for the informative video....I do believe I will buy this jeep!

Very welcome, still driving on them and the same set of Heims for the past 2 yrs 🤙 did you get your jeep

@@preludedudesi5208 I did indeed. At first the steering was a bit rough and somewhat frightening at highway speed. Got everything tightened up and it's much better. It's a little devil out in the dirt. I bought a 65 Travelall last month as a project. I have videos of both.

But how do you know which side needs to move in more?

Run a tape measure, I like to count the treads on the heim too and get them as close as possible
