Don't know why they would mention jeeps in particular. This is so common in modern cars it's ridiculous. So is some of the wheel alignment specs these days. If you can't get the camber right you try to counter it with castor, if that's not ajustable well your ######. I swear wheel aligning modern cars is more about trying to cover one defect by introducing another. Thank God for the aftermarket.

Does anyone know of a specialist North Brisbane-ish, that can deal with the alignment on a 14' Laredo with QD? Mine's pulled left since new, had the kippa-ring guys deal with it twice with someone local, but apparently it's fine if it pulls off the road in about 3secs. Also got told to rotate the tyres (brand new)..."its not an alignment issue".

Cheers and TIA!

Don't go to a dealer, use a Steering and Suspension Shop, I always find I get it done once and done properly.... Way out of your area but I can certainly give Kudos to Toowoomba Steering and Gold City Steering in Gympie, both do it once and done right...
All four wheels must get done and a correct tyre pressure is a must, not the pressure on the tyre placard its way too low, it should have a gentle pull to left on a decent road and when you slam on the picks pulls up straight..........

Have a 2012GC diesel overland with Qlift.Steers straight as .Have had a number of so called aligners bag the Jeep ,ie hard to wheel align. Get the vehicle out of their workshop asap.!Also make sure both front and rear is aligned ,if Qlift align in Sport.Any good aligner should be able to manually adjust if vehicle pulls left.
Many can only align to what the computor lists.!

There was a TSB for wheel alignment on International WK2's back in 2014

There also a wheel alignment mode in the Uconnect settings which does the same.
