Alignment Schedule

[JoeValkIS]

While my Jeep (Bone Stock Rubicon JL with 23k miles on it) was in the shop this week for the Steering Trackbar TSB, the service adviser told me that it is recommended to do an alignment at 15-19k miles. That the "SUVs shake things loose" quicker than other vehicles. While I know you need to do an alignment after doing a lift or make major suspension changes, what is the normal duration that you need to perform an alignment.

For reference, this is the alignment sheet they didn't provide me...but I took a photo of after the TSB was completed. Did they check alignment and only had to adjust the toe? Also, why is the rear left toe off so much different than the right rear? Did they not actually test the rear alignment?

A few of our JL's have come right off the dealer lots with bad alignments, so it is never a bad idea to have them checked. Your toe was off on your right front so its nice to get that in check before it causes unnecessary tire wear. As far as an SUV shaking loose more than other vehicles, that's just nonsense.

Your rear toe is non adjustable, that's just the way your rear axle was produced.

There isnt really anything to align unless you've added adjustable control arms or trackbars other than tour toe.

Edit: should clarify this was aimed at the jeep as a whole and not just your rear.

My rear toe on my jku was out of spec also and it just is what it is.
You can measure your front toe from time to time just to check and make sure it's ok and save yourself the hassle of bringing it in just need a tape measure.
