![Question](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
After installing a 3" lift(Teraflex) my JK pulls to the left. I had the alignment checked twice. I have a full set of adj control arms and a front adj trackbar.
I was told that everything was normal on the first try.
I had the alignment checked again. Here are the results:
Caster: 6.7L 6.6R
Camber: -0.6L -0.8R
Toe: 0.11L 0.11R
I was told that the camber is a bit off. Will this cause the JK pull to the left?
Does this mean I have a bent axel?
Previous suggestions: switch front tires or to lengthen the drivers front lower CA a 1/8".
PLEASE HELP![Drowninga](https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/drowninga.gif)

did they do a 4 wheel alignment, and not just a front end alignment. since you have adjustable control arms...how many miles on the jeep....is it pulling or twitchy or wondering.....

The second time around the alignment was 4 wheel. Its been a week since I have installed the 3" lift with new set of tires and wheels. It pulls to the left slightly when letting go of steering wheel. Keep in mind that I have a full set of control arms and a front adj trackbar.

just pulled my firestone reciepts....my jk is close to your either both have bent housings...mine drives streight and does well......
i have the fixed length lower control arms...with a 4.5 sj lift with 3/4 spacers running 37s with a drop pitman arm....if that helps
camber -.4 left -.8 right
toe .12 left .10 right
is it perfect, idk....but drives good, and good tire wear....the tow needs to be in a little slightly with larger tires....if set to factory perfect.... will be a little flighty

my front cross camber is -.4
front total toe is .25
rear cross camber was .5
rear total toe was -.02
and thrust angel was -.10
as long as your arms are good and tight.....should be no worries....just make the alignment shop.... do it right
