I was looking at the Jeep yesterday and my front tires are like this / \ when looking from the front. Balljoints are good. Both tires are angled about the same, would be real hard to bend the short side the same amount as well. Doesn't look bent either.

My buddy has a TJ and I remember his was like that as well.


Any ideas?

offset balljoints?

That would be a solution.. but why are they like that is what I'd like to figure out. The axle isn't bent best I can tell.

No one else has seen this before?

Mine did it when the hub went bad..

I put new unit hubs on and straightened me right up...

Jack it up and take the tire off .. Take the hub off and see if there is slack in it... If so that is your problem..

if your caster angle is way off they will do that. check to see what your caster is at, it should be around 5-6* if your lifted

I'll have to check the caster angle. I'll take a few pics to show you guys the angle I'm talking about.

Nate did you fix this problem? my tires are starting to do the same thing. Toe is correct, caster is pretty close, hubs and BJ's are fairly new.

I've got this problem too but I think it's because the hubs are going.

mine does a little, but I have 0* caster, so I'm pretty sure that's why.
