I've been holding off on this for a little bit, since I get nervous tinkering with some parts of the jeep...


But it's a nice day, and I'm done with school for a few weeks... So While I'm out there re-tourqing everything before my snowboarding trip this weekend, i figured I'd recenter the wheel...



So, under neath the jeep, I just loosen the two bolts and rotate that metal piece the bolts were securing??? Does the jeep need to be on the ground, or lifted up?


Do i need to center the wheels first, then just turn the buckle until the wheel is center too??


How tightly do the bolts get re-tourqed???

you've got it. loosen the two bolts. Rotate the top forward to turn the steering wheel right, or backwards to turn the steering wheel left. tighten and take for a test drive. sometimes it takes a few tries.

 

Got it. Any idea how tight those bolts should be??? I don't want to loose steering on the highway


Also, when I moved mine, I found there to be less play in the bar (one end moved). Should there be any play in it, or does it not matter?

 

Yep... that's what I mean... I'll have to recheck it tomorrow.... Feels fine right now, but of course, i don't want to do any damage..

 

after i did my lift and adjustable track bar i took it to a shop for an alllignment. after i installed the adjustable track bar, it threw the steering wheel way off. when they did the allignment, they did straighten the steering wheel, but its not exactly perfect. if i try to adjust the steering wheel using the method discussed above, would it do anything to mess with the other aspects of the allignment?

thanks
