New front axle replace by jeep dealership (under warranty)

[Rhino35]

After replacing with new axle, do it need alignment? I notice that steering wheel is off-center, about 35 degree counter-clockwise when driving straight.

Google how to adjust jeep gladiator steering wheel. Pretty simple adjustment you can do at home. Dealership should have done it…

Yes, if the axle is replaced, it needs be aligned. If they did not adjust the wheel is doubtful they set toe either, which is the only other thing to be adjusted. Take it back and have them finish the job. Adjusting the wheel yourself is simple to do, but takes time test driving and readjusting until you get it right. Adjusting toe to the required accuracy is not something most people can do at home. Hell, I barely trust an alignment shop to do it right.

And if your steering wheel is off center by that much your traction control light will come on I suspect. Mine did.

Get a complete alignment and get the results in writing .

I thought to myself that surely the Tech Authority instructions would tell them to do an alignment but nope, it does not.

Still though, that is bad juju on the dealerships part to return it like that. They know better.
