Stering question

[Dtp42072]

I was recently backed into on my front drivers side tire. And my steering wheel is off to the right by 4 to 4 degrees and the jeep dealer says it's my alignment Any advice would be great. Thanx

Hopefully it will be fixed by only the alignment but don't be supprised if you have a few bent parts that need to be replaced too depending upon how hard the tap was.

Welcome to the Z.

You have bent parts that need replaced.

carry your jeep to an alignment shop you trust! The tech there can tell you what part is bent by setting it up on the alignment machine. i can tell you from experience just b/c it doesn't look bent doesn't mean it's not
hopefully it will only be a tie rod end not to expensive

If you live near a Firestone I suggest you buy their lifetime alignment. They even offer a $15 off coupon right now

I like to get my Jeep aligned every year, or after a rough offroad trip. I paid for about 3 alignments before I found that Firestone offers lifetime alignments.

and, doesn't the life time alignments cost less then two normal alignments so it pays for itself really quickly
