ok need some help here. just got the front end aligned and the tires rotated. acording to Brake Max. the alignement was good. so now i need help. i let go of my steering wheel and she fades right. it will change lanes in about 5 to 7 seconds by itself. what would cause this. there is a little steering wheel walking when i let go of it. i ordered a new S.S. to help with this. but i dont know what would be causing the fade even when everythings good..

The pull to the right seems to be a Jeep thing. Even when my JK was new before the lift and tires it pulled to the right.

possible caster adjustment to fix it also. the angles on the front can be set with adj. arms so that there are slightly different angles to compensate for (not feel) the crown in the road quite so much. I have mine adjusted the same side to side, but it can be done slightly to compensate for daily driven roads.

just a thought

Check your cross caster! You should be running slightly more caster on the passenger side than the driver's side. That is done by design to account for road crown! Hope that helps.

I went through mine for months after putting on a budget boost and having this problem.

Adjustable lower controls arms help some
swapping the front tires from one side to another can fix it.
My jeep dealership actually installed adjustable upper ball joints to correctly adjust the camber for free!!!!!! this fixed the problem completely. It was a factory part, so you could try this route.

good luck

Solid axle design and road crown.
