The alignment shop re centered the wheel and didn't use the procal until today as a double check against the shops equipment.

Make sure your caster is within spec. It sounds like you need to find a good shop as well. Get a print out of your alignment and post thatbdata

I think I need a new shop.... Good shop, nice guys, great prices, but I don't think a 2012 JK is their area of expertise...

Check the air pressures in your tires. If one of them is significantly lower, then it will cause a pull sometimes.

35" tires and above, it might not be a bad idea to get dual steering stabilizers, or a better single one. Stock steering stabilizer has a tough time with all that added weight and size.

A steering stabilizer doesn't do much unless you are running above 37s. A lot of people on here run the stock stabilizer on 37s with no problems. All it does is reduce bump steer.

Default pulling

Ηι

i had the same exact problem my friend.And after 1 year of going around shops...specialists...a lot of money for allignments and other cr@p it only took one guy to fix it.He just changed all 4 tyres and everything was great!!if u think u have done it all check your tires! Sometimes all 4 tires can have problem which cause the pulling.!(bad production line,bad maintenance of tires from the dealer)
