Alignment thoughts - Jeep pulling to the right

[nofferman]

I just had a local shop install adjustable front lower control arms on my 2024 JL Rubicon after I installed the AEV 2" lift. I would have done it myself but I couldn't get the darn bolts loose on the ground. It was tracking perfect with the stock control arms and driving fine before these were installed. I am running 37" tires. I purchased the adjustable control arms on a recommendation I found in these forms as a good practice with the lift. I am wondering if they weren't set to the proper length as the jeep is now pulling to the right on a flat straight road. The shop says everything is within specs but they are not a jeep specialty shop so depending on what you all think I may take it to one of those in town that focuses on jeeps. Any recommendations?

Usually guys will run slightly higher caster on the passenger side to help with the natural crown in most roads…Your caster is higher on the driver side. Measure center to center of the connecting bolts on each arm to make sure they’re adjusted the same length…..

Nick, not sure this flows through to a 4Xe but with a JL, it’s not uncommon for the steering to need to recalibrate after modifications:

1. With the Jeep off, remove F34 power steering fuse.

2. Start the Jeep and confirm no power steering by turning the steering wheel and dash message error appears. Do not drive it.

3. Turn off engine. Open driver door and close it so it completely turns off all dash lights. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes so all electronics fully discharge.

4. Reinsert F34 fuse, start engine, immediately turn steering wheel full left, full right, turn to center, turn engine off. Restart and take for a test drive.

Please update this post if it doesn’t apply, doesn’t work or solves your issue.
