Steering magically aligned overnite?

ZJcrawler45 · 03-20-2007, 04:04 PM

i just did a 2" BB on my 93 zj in january an of course the alignment was way off. it would pull to the right pretty bad and would have to put some force on the wheel to keep it straight. i have yet to get an alignment (no money=college) and magically ever since it got around 60 here in OHIO my alignment is fine and keeps straight, steering wheel centered and everything, if anything it might be pulling slightly to ther left now just a tad. What could this be? and do i still have to get an alignment?

The BB shouldn't cause it to pull either direction really. Sounds more likely that a brake caliper is sticking...

Any clunking? What are the conditions of your suspension bushings & tie rod ends?

no clunking at all, suspension is all brand new but bushings and TRE's could be replaced... also very well could be one of my calipers since i dont really have any rear brakes right now, all the drum self adjusting hard broke and i'm redoing them this weekend with all new stuff so i dont think they're working..im taking it easy on the brakes though... i hope i didnt do anything to my front discs. how would i check if a caliper is sticking and how would i fix it?

Just get the front wheels lifted high enough so that you can turn the vehicles wheels when its turned off and in neutral. Works really well when you work at a shop or have access to a lift somehow. When you turn the wheel by hand you should be able to hear the brake scrape sometimes if the calipers are worn, or the wheel just wont roll freely.

check your tire pressure lately?

right hand rear Wheel hub bearings

---maybe one of the rear ones is bad or going south

the lack of lube is increased in cold weather

pressure just filled to 33psi, hub bearing?
