New JLUR Recon Alignment?

[TheDogPack]

I have about 400 miles on it and realized the steering wheel is not centered. I need to have the wheel slightly turned to the left for it to drive straight. Does anyone else have this issue from the factory?

Is your steering wheel turned left while driving on flat level ground? If so, here is an article on how to adjust the drag link to straighten the steering wheel.

I tested the steering on a few different roads and made sure it was on flat ground. I think the dealer will not even have to do an alignment, center the wheels and recenter the steering wheel. This is just really annoying since the dealer is 40 minutes and I will have to drop it off. The only positive is that my USB in the armrest is not working properly either

Very easy to fix yourself. Only takes a couple minutes. There are videos you can search.

If you have tools you can definitely try adjusting the steering wheel to your liking yourself. Here is a screen capture I have saved on which direction to turn the sleeve to turn the steering wheel left or right.

I second this, Jeeps are not like your standard IFS car that can have a million different alignment variables to adjust and screw up. There's almost nothing to a solid axle front end. Just loosen the one bolt, screw the silver part a little at a time and keep checking your steering wheel for proper center.
