Default Whats under the front of the 2019 JL Wrangler?



If you've just installed a brand new lift on your Jeep JL Wrangler and are wanting to get it aligned, there are a couple of things you should know before you take it to a shop and pay to have it done.

First, unless you've installed new aftermarket components such as an adjustable track bar and/or adjustable control arms, there really isn't a whole lot a shop can to other than recenter your steering wheel and take your money.

Due to the design of the JL steering system, your toe-in will not change at all and being that it comes with a solid front axle, its camber will not change either. Depending on how much lift you install, your caster may be off enough to feel it but again, nothing can be done unless you've installed aftermarket components that will allow you to make adjustments.

Second, even if you have installed a 2" lift or taller and added adjustable components, doing a basic front end alignment is easy, something you can do in your own driveway, with the use of some basic tools and this write-up will show you how.

Disclaimer: Utmost care should be taken when modifying anything to your suspension. Injury to you, your Jeep, and/or others can result from improper suspension modifications or alterations. The author is not a certified mechanic and assumes no responsibility for damage or injury.

That's a LHD Rubicon.

The Sport and Overland both have CV style front axles with he Rubicon have uni styles front axles.

That exhaust loop also hangs down much lower, almost as low as the bottom of the diff pumpkin, than it looks in the photo.
