Alignment issues 2021 Gladiator willys sport

[Chris262]

Im by no means an alignment or tire expert. But i can say i had a similar issue and was beyond pleased after setting the tow my self.

Im sincerely not trying to be a jerk here, is there more that im missing? What about correcting the tow won’t help with a pull to one side or the other?

Toe will not cause a pull. Setting toe prevents uneven/edge wear and sets the steering wheel straight. If someones steering wheel is not perfectly straight and they're holding it straight you are literally turning the vehicle it is not a pull. The only thing that can be causing real pulls on stock jeeps is bad tires, worn components and bent stuff. The truck needs to be driven on a flat road and confirm if the steering wheel is straight or not. The front end needs to be checked for any worn components that need to be replaced and THEN toe needs to be set and steering wheel centered before they return the vehicle to you after an alignment. So wherever you take the vehicle to get aligned make sure they actually inspect it before just driving it up on the rack.

Mine pulls to the right pretty hard. I have 2.5" Teffaflex lift with 35" BFG KO2's. Its pulled to the right since I got it new. I knew I was lifting it soon so I thought the alignment they did with the lift would fix it and it didnt. I had the steering gear replaced that included an alignment and it still pulls to the right (no alignment on the receipt so I dont think they actually did it) I rotated my tires and that didnt help. I went to a local alignment shop but the Jt was too long to fit on their rack. I just got a recall notice for some computer issue so when its at the dealer I will have them align it and see what happens. This is not a steering wheel being off center issue. If I take my hands off the wheel on the highway I'll be in the next lane in a few seconds. It's so annoying I may not keep the JT if it can't be fixed.
