Couple alignment questions.

[dajaga]

Ok i wanna attempt a my own alignment on the jlu, first is there an order i should go between the caster angle, toe, camber and centering the axel or just do one at a time. I do have adjustable track bar and lower control arms.

Now when adjusting the track bar,if i make it longer it pushes the frame to the drivers side and shorter to the passenger side or is it vise versa.

And with the LCA making them longer tilts the angle upwards?

Thank you

Why are you doing alignment, did you install lift, or steering components?

Making the front trackbar longer will shift the tires towards the passenger side. Shorter will shift the tires towards the drivers side.

Lower control arms - lengthening them will rotate the pinion angle down. Look at how everything is mounted. Lower control arms mount on the bottom of the axle. The upper arm is fixed in your set up and is located on the top of the axle. Look at it and envision how pushing the bottom of the axle forward will rotate the pinion. Said another way, lengthening the lower arms will increase caster and decrease the pinion angle.

Sequence- right or wrong I typically go in this order:

Trackbar>Drag Link>Caster>tie-rod

Tie-rod should only be needed if you changed out the tie-rod. Installing a lift and not changing out the tie-rod won’t need it.
