I've got a pull
08 Jk 4dr auto.
The jeep has been driving straight as an arrow since I've got it new until the last week or so. Steering wheel is straight and drives straight, but when you let go of the wheel, it starts to wander over to the left. Nothing major, just a slight pull.
I had a TF 2.5 BB and 35s put on a few months ago, but again, it was driving nice and straight afterward. This is just something new.
I haven't had any work done to it since the lift except for oil changes and even that was a while ago.
I checked the air pressure in the tires and they're all at 28 psi. I'm not mechanically inclined, so after the air check I'm out
any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I've got a free tire rotation coming up from the shop that put on the lift. I'll see if that helps.
I've been hitting potholes like crazy lately. I guess at my age the eyes are starting to go. I try to avoid them, but you'd think I was aiming for them.

I know this is not something you wanna hear, and it may or may not be the case for you. I had the same thing happen to me. put it up on an alignment machine and my camber was off, guess somewhere along the line my ears got bent. yes, those easily bent ears. lucky for me my Prorock is sitting in the garage and waiting to be installed, so i didnt care.
may wanna check camber.

I'd start by re-torquing the front suspension bolts. Ie: make sure everything is tight under there. Check your track bar, Upper and lower control arms. Then check your alignment.

If I can sneak away from the family tomorrow for a little bit, I'll go out and check to make sure things are tightened up.
