Hi all,
Short and to the point. I am trying to resolve a pulling to the right issue on my stock '96. I had an alignment done, toe was out a bit and they dialed that in but it made no change to the pull. Rotated tires around as you would normally try, brakes aren't dragging and the steering box isn't inducing any pull when I have the front in the air with the engine running.
I did get curious and took a measurement hub to hub, front to back on each side of the Jeep. I found that the passenger side distance is about 1/2" shorter or 1/2" longer on the driver, however you want to look at it. That would lead me to believe that the rear axle may be pointed or skewed to be driving the rear-end to the driver's side causing my pulling issue. My question is, is that enough to cause a pull? It's significant enough of a pull that I have to keep a constant 11'oclock steering wheel position to keep it going straight down the highway.
Any suggestions on solutions to try? I know in stock form there are no adjustments to the rear so I have toyed with the idea in my head of playing around with the spring perches to get that equaled out.
Thanks!
Brett
