Default front end alignment

Hit ice this morning and turned the pitman arm all the way sideways and loosened the stabilizer. And the right tirerod end has play in it. Took it to a alignment shop. It still has play and the ebs traction control is coming on and grabing the jeep. Can I do a front end alignment myself ?

Sounds to me like you may still have some damage somewhere. If the alignment shop couldn't get it right, I wouldn't think that you could do any better with a tape measure and a triangle level.

the issue was the pitman arm tightened the arm up and the sway bar i got the transaction control to go off . however it seems like it still has alot of play in it , so i had a friend look at it he told me the same thing the alignment shop did that the ball joints on the lower is bad , i though they was just fishing for money .. so it may be the ball joint . i am going to have another alignment shop look at it and not one that sales tires .
