« on: March 20, 2007, 04:32:39 PM »
Any suggestions for where to take a Jeep tj for an alignment.
I'd like to go to one of the dealerships as I need an oilchange and mine are currently Free. :D

Any suggestions?

You can take a stock Jeep pretty much anywere for an alignment, but here's the ones recommended by people on this board:

Stock Jeeps:
Tower Chrysler in the SW
Big 4 in South
Fountain Tire on Moraine Rd NE
Fountain Tire on Northmount Dr NW
Kal-Tire on 42ave SE

Lifted Jeeps running 35+ tires:
Harper Tire behind Modern Motors in the SE
Blakin and Lane across from Northhill Mall in the NW

03 TJ - 6" body lift and 31 MTR's, other wise stock.

Oops, sorry I didn't mean to imply that because a jeep has a lift the shops won't do an alignment on your jeep.   I've noticed that few shops will touch a jeep with 35+ tires.

If you have a lift try Harpers Tire.

driveway...all you can really adjust is toe-in ad it can be measured close enough with a tape measure.  Need approximately 1/8" less distance at the front.    :lol:

Don't you have a YJ?  YJs are a different story as there is not much to align.  If you have adjustable control arms you need to take it to a place that knows what they are doing.
