JK pulls to the left
Hi all. My Jk 4 door pulls to the left. I have really only noticed this since the last wheel alignment. It was aligned at 7.3 deg castor for the right, and 7.1 for the left. The right LCA was probably about 5mm longer than the left. I phoned the wheel aligner and his comments were "Its a Jeep thing" my response was, funny, it did not do it before, however they agreed to take a look at it. I have not taken it back in the last month as after that wheel alignment, the DW returned and I have had all my balljoints and drag link replaced. I have since changed the front coils, and wound the castor back myself to about 5.5 deg, but left the drivers side slightly longer than the left. I noticed that teraflex and several other US suspension companies also recomend one LCA longer than the other to help with the camber of the road. The odd thing is the that Teraflex suggest the passanger side should be about 5mm longer which is the right side in the US (Dah). This leeds me to suggest that the left side should be longer here in Oz, or have the larger castor.
So what have others done. Same length and same castor, or made made one LCA longer than the other increasing the castor on the longer side, and if so, which side is longer / increased castor? If my theory is correct, i will get them to do it again to my specs?
