Do you need to have an alignment after changing front shocks on a 05 4x4 supercrew? I Marked the tie rod end to make sure they never moved, which they didnt. Truck seems to drive good.


Just wondering where the caster / camber adjustment came from on these trucks-- I know some come frome the upper control arm , and nto the shock tower, ? Does anyone know from expierience ? Thanx

 

No no alignment is necessary for a shock change. However, how long has it been since you had one?

 

never since new, my wrangler ats thAT I just changed had 61000 , and wore completely level. I

 

Honestly, I would get one then. I do mine at about every 20k. Not that expensive.

 

Thanks, I probably should.

 

Whenever you do any kind of front end work like taking out your struts on your 05 4x4 you should always have it checked. Your caster and camber are adjusted from your lower control arm and slight change when taking out the struts could change your angles. An alignment is usually only about 50.00 thats way cheaper than a set of tires. I like to call it tire insurance
