Guys bit off topic I know,I just replaced an axle on the front passenger side of wifes P.O.S Hyundai (I told her not to buy it !!!)
Anyhow the axle is in and now it's pulling to that side didn't know if any of the gyrus here had any secrets or tips on aligning this foreign junk*?*
I apologize for not being jeep or stroker related but yall have helped me with dumber shiot before so any advice would be appreciated!,
I have no mechanical degree I'm just an average backyard redneck cheap ass

At work when we have to separate the strut from the knuckle for any repair we ALWAYS align the car, but we have two Bee Line "7000" 4 way laser alignment machines too.

I would recommend taking it to someone that has a rack. Those string DIY things rarely work well.

I was trying to avoid forking over 50$ for a alignment but its so out of whack ill probably get it as close as I can and take silvers advice and take it to the shop :brickwall: (I hate working on that car)
