Ok, so I just braved the chilly weather for a little more than an hour.
I installed rubi rails that I picked up over the weekend and the Currie LCAs from Joe.
Bump steer is completely gone but now my alignment is off. It may have been a little off before but not that I noticed it. Now if I take my hands off the wheel the jeep veers right. Does it just need an alignment (never got one done, even after the lift and new wheels). Did I do anything wrong?

You know, it's possible the right arm is adjusted 1 turn more than the left. When I installed them the first time, mine was pulling to the left slightly.. I turned the right arm 1 additional turn.. Do yourself a favor and drive it for like 2 days before You adjust anything....

Ok, but to adjust from veering to the right, which arm would I turn and which direction? Thanks.
