That's way better than my tactic of pulling the wheel straight when I park it. Out of sight, out of mind, my #1 safety rule. I also live up north, which is why I replace whole tie rods instead of tie rod ends. I did the torch trick once, and I think I'd rather it be tax season every month instead of doing it ever again. I dipped this tie rod in farm implement enamel and soaked the bare thread in 5w20. We'll see what happens.
This looks like one of the steps done in a wheel alignment. I just had the alignment done for my 2004 WJ Laredo V8, and the steering wheel is tilted about 5 degrees off level when the wheels are dead straight. The alignment tech told me that the steering wheel would have to be removed to correct that tilted steering wheel, but looking at this video, the fix for this issue is to adjust the length of that steering linkage rod, without removing the steering wheel and airbag in order to reposition the wheel dead straight.
Yeah I recently changed my clock spring and accidentally moved the wheel when tightening the steering wheel bolt now it crooked , do I need to find this pitman arm or will adjusting the tie rod do the trick as well ?
I’m no mechanic but In my opinion to have a wheel that far off you have replace just one side suspension components where you should always replace both or you have played with the toe your self and have no idea what your doing then done some research found out what you did wrong then made another video…?
An adjustable track bar which is what many people replace their stock track bar with can make your steering off.. I purposely made my steering wheel crooked for the sake of the video..
I changed the drag link when on jack steering moved perfect once I put it on the ground wheels not turning at all, do you now the right position for the drag link arm to be set to replace drag. Same jeep 03 overland
No! That adjustment has nothing to do with actual tire/front end alignment. Below where the drag link bolts to the passenger side of JEEP, you'll see another actual tie rod end on the spindle ... connected to a (tie rod) bar that connects to the driver side tie rod end on the driver side spindle. This is how you adjust your toe.
These quick no nonsense videos are what people need. Thank you!!!
💯💪🏾
These type of vids that are straight forward will save peoples time instantly.
Yet another reason why I love jeeps.
Love a clean no rust undercarriage... nice

My question is how do you know what position the pitman arm is supposed to be in? Wheels straight position?
Asking the same thing. His wheel is probably still not straight because the pitman arm should be facing back and forth, not off to one side

Tf kind of shop recommended ripping the steering wheel off??
@@jamesbradley2468 Haha I asked myself the same question
Why does mine keep tilting left after I adjust it and drive for a little while? It steady ends up in the same tilt
Спасибо большое ! очень полезное видео 👍 Thanks
My steering wheel centerd with the wheels in when parked but go to left when driving,what i need to do?
Tie rod adjustment
WOW...Thank You!!!
Indeed a great video

Mine eventually stopped spinning and my wheel still isn’t straight. Love that for me

AWESOME, THANKS!

Did you ever find out that answer?
Power steering pump issue
@@southbay281 same thing on mine-the steering wheel was just locked because it was in park. I started it & everything was fine.
@@thelostmachine713 LoL I take it that the key was not turned to the on position?
You're missing a Bump stop.
Nice!
How do I know if I need to do a wheel alignment or straighten the steering wheel?
Same shit
If the wheel would be straight when driving then the tie rods would cause it to still pull to one side or the other

This doesn't change the alignment at all?
Pretty sure it doesn't
