front end alignment
Thursday, October 13, 2005 6:33 PM
I have a 01 Z I have owned since day 1 and have 140,000 miles, I know I probably should have had my alighment checked professionally but tires wear normal and until recently no oddities.....I hit a bad pot hole and now it wants to pull to the left, I know struts need replacing in the near future but is there any way to check alignment and do it myself ( not a mechanic by any means but can do most work short of rebuild with a book)


Its all about the pain...The Jewelry and Ink are just souvinirs

Only way to do alignment is to do it on the machine my friend.

Get the struts taken care of first---whenever you do suspension work you need an alignment anyways. :-d

check the aft control arm bushings. take a look at them, there knowm for going about 140000 miles. There a big rubber donut and they come unbonded from the metal ring that they are molded into. you shouldnt see the rubber at the outside dia. ( its about 3").
