Alignment after Rubicon
After our trip to the Rubicon we do have a little bit of a shake in the steering wheel. Is it worth going to get an alignment at $80 a pop again?
This would be the third alignment I've had on the vehicle since 2013.
Thoughts?

Shake sounds more like balance. Check to see if there's any mud/dirt clumped in the wheels throwing it off. I usually have to hit mine pretty good to get rid of post-trail shake. For alignment, some places give lifetime alignment for a premium.

It's been a month or so sense we returned. I did tighten everything when we got back. Probably going to get a balance done tomorrow to start correcting things hopefully. Then if things persist, I'll get the alignment

I took mine straight down for an alignment after the Rubicon. It helped out a ton. I bumped a rock straight into the tie rod and my toe was way off.

you took your JK on the Rubicon and all you think you need is an alignment. That's great news, and I say go get the alignment. Your Jeep deserves one. Well Done!!

Yeah, I'm still getting everything doctored up after the Rubicon. Bent rear sway bar, alignment, and I think a ball joint or unit bearing is on its way out on the front ds. I keep finding little things, but that is the nature of off roading.
