Hey Guys and Gals,
Last weekend, I had new tires and wheels installed. It's the first set of large tires that have ever been put on my Jeep. When I drove home, it felt fine. Aside from getting a little used to the feel of wide and heavy tires, I didn't really notice any issues other than the Jeep feeling like it wandered a bit. I figured I'd get an alignment, get some specs and have a starting point to solve any of my issues. Nothing major.
The next day I took her 4 wheeling in an OHV park to try out the new rubber, everything went great. Didn't push it hard or anything of the sort, I'm not hard on the skinny pedal. Didn't hit any obstacles with force, blah blah, everything was cool. The day went fine.
When we finished up and aired the tires back up (30psi by the way), I noticed the Jeep kept veering towards the left. I figured it might be crowning in the road. However, it is consistently veering to the left no matter what speed and road conditions are present. WTH?
Here's a little background on the rig:
2015 JKUR
2.5" MC Game Changer, Fox Edition.
Steer Smarts Yeti XD Drag Link and Attenuator
315/70R17 MT ATZ P3s
I took it to the alignment shop yesterday and here's the spec sheet. Keep in mind this is AFTER I went wheeling last Sunday. I'm going to be getting under the jeep this Saturday to look things over carefully, swap tire locations, etc. I'm hoping to get some ideas of what might be causing my issue. Also hoping for some feedback on the alignment data, does anything look out of wack that might be the cause.
Lastly, the axles need to be centered. I noticed that both axles are protruding to the passenger side more than drivers side. However, I've read that this should have no effect on tracking on the highway, correct?
Thank you all in advance. Let me know if you need more intel from my part.
