Default Turning

was looking at a pic of my jeep, post TF 4" lift, and noticed that my front tires seem to be turning at different angles (lack of a better description)...or is it just an illusion from the angle of the picture? havent wheeled with this jeep yet for anything to have bent.

How do they look at top dead center? You may have a toe-in alignment issue.

From the pic it does look like the drivers side is pointed out more, passenger side looks like it's straight on with the camera.

LOL - I was just in your neighborhood at Lexington Park, MD (NAS Patuxent River). I actually ate at Yellowfin's on the way down there. Since I read your post on my Blackberry, I couldn't see your location. Oh well.

Anyway, are you currently driving it? If your toe-in is off quite a bit, then you should be having some noticeable driving problems. But the picture sure looks off. I'll have to look at mine turned in the same manner and see what I observe.

A straight shot in good lighting would help. Hard to tell with them turned and the shadows and all.

straighten your steering wheel and take a pic of the outside straight from the front. It looks like you have a toe out issue (not toe in)


toe in / \ ^front of vehicle


toe out \ / ^front of vehicle

im familiar with toe. a toe in issue could also be a toe out issue. i meant a toe in issue, as in not enough toe in (too much toe out).

looks like you have too much toe out. Pic angle is kinda weird so can't really tell without a measurement.
