- Straighting the steering wheel on your Jeep Wrangler tj/lj is so simple, why pay someone else to do it for you
In todays video we show to how to straighten the steering wheel on my 2006 jeep tj wrangler, this will also work the many others jeeps - xj zj yj and more, it is very easy and straight forward and can be done in your own garage with minimal tools.
Thank your for watching the Cheap Jeeper youtube channel we are not professional at all but we love making working on our 2010 Jeep Wrangler jk, we love finding cheap and budget friendly ways to modify your jeep. Not everyone has a massive budget to build a Jeep Wrangler on 40 inch tyres, hopefully some of the videos have helped you save a bit of money when working on your jeep.
Building a jeep doesn't have to exepensive. I hope some of my videos can help you save a little bit of money when building and working on your own jeep tj. #jeeptj #jeepwrangler #jeep
I'm literally speachless. Been taking my jeep to alignment place after alignment place for year's. Told me I had to rebuild my whole suspension so I did. Still the stearing wheel was to
the left. I literally watched this and now after 5 minutes my stearing wheel is 100% straight. God bless you!
Oh man that sucks, I wish you had found the video sooner, thanks I really appreciate that. Very happy that you could fix it won’t out spending any more money.
A good bit of info, I'll straighten my steering wheel tomorrow 🙂
@@anticat900 thanks, glad I could help
My steering is off about 10 degrees on the 1998 TJ. I will need to adjust mine as well. Your Jeep is much cleaner than mine underneath! Nice! 😎😉
John’s Jeep Garage how did your one get so far out? Hahahaha just means I don’t take it out as much as I should
Bro, thanks for the quick video. Worked like a champ on my daughters TJ. Even with the wheel on the other side. ;)
Awesome, so glad it helped. Thanks really appreciate it.
My '05 TJ Rocky Mtn has been driving at 1 o'clock for a while. I have the Currie Currectlync steering system on with the Fox steering stabilizer. So not as easy as the stock setup. The Currie bolts are an absolute pita to budge and the Fox ss is pressurized which is causing this to be a 1 all of the time. The road will bend left and I'm still at 1, drives me nuts! I really want this steering to be tight and perfectly straight. Spent a lot to get it right, yet not seeing the results. The local garages are clueless as how to get this done. Just have to get some penetrating fluid to get these bolts loose and take it from there, hopefully this will work. Anyway, great video!
@@JeepTJWheelin that sucks, shouldn’t be that hard, hopefully with a bit of WD40 and heat you will be able to get it, I feel your pain. Last thing you could do is take the steering wheel off and move it over a little bit

Thank you so much for this video. I was just about to take it to a shop and spend $80 for them to do it
Bailey White that’s awesome mate. I’m so happy I could save you a bit of money
They didn't even do that when I took it to the shop. Just told me too bad and they can't fix it. I'm so confused as to why alignment specialists had no clue how to fix it
I noticed your bottom of the Jeep looked like mine, and mine’s a righty. I was confused because I’ve only seen one other RHD Jeep, but it wasn’t a TJ. Then, you showed your driver side. At last! Another righty! I have an 06 TJ RHD and I absolutely love it. I’ve been having the same issue with the steering wheel, so I’m excited to see if this’ll fix it.
Hahahaha that’s awesome, we only have right hand drive keeps where I am, only ever seen two left handed jeeps. I hope this helps on your Jeep.
Thanks! Mine was stuck so I had to wire brush some dirt/rust off the threads and then used vice grips to turn it.
No problem at all, hahaha love cleaning up rusty parts just to be able to fix something.
Thanks, very helpful. Mine was not easy to turn at all though. After i loosened bolts I had to turn it with a pipe wrench
You are very welcome, happy I could help. They can be very tight sometimes
PB Blaster day before
I was pretty sure this is how to fix the issue but not 100%. Thank you so much having a crooked steering wheel drives me nuts
No problem at all, it is such a easy fix for a really annoying problem
Good job, easy fix. A trick I found to make it easier for one person to do this is to put a piece of white or light colored tape on top of the steering wheel where I feel the wheel is going to be straight or centered. After I turn the collar on the drag link a little, I can easily see the tape and where it is now positioned. No more getting up and looking inside each time. Hope that helps for the next time. :)
Tim Gidden thanks mate, that’s a great idea, would of saved so much time Hahahaha, thanks for the tip mate
Anything to help out a fellow Jeeper. :)
Tim Gidden really appreciate it mate
Great video, very helpful tips. love your channel
Awesome! Just waiting on my rough country shock so I can place it below my vehical! And this video looks like the icing on the cake making the install look so relaxing! About time! Thanks man!
Awesome, let me know how you like it
Alright, when the suspension part arrives in the mail. I will install it and let you know. Hopefully I get a notification so I can give you the feed back on how everything went. I find notifications help me find my place back to communication! happy jeepin
I slid into a curb , in my 97 TJ, the passenger front wheel made contact with the curb which bent my lower control arm bracket and threw off my steering wheel so I’m gonna try this.
Have you replaced the lower control arm bracket? This will get the steering wheel straight.
Great video mate, I was just doing this same thing last week, best video out there on this
Jeepin Jack thank you mate I really appreciate it, haha cheers mate
It’s both clockwise and counterclockwise depending on which end you’re looking at
Nice! Thanks for the video!
No problem at all, thanks for the comment really appreciate it

Oh that sucks, this will make your steering wheel straight but there might be a bigger problem there.
Did you raise the tires off the ground?
No everything stays on the ground
Very informative👌👌👌.
rugged tourer happy it helped mate, thanks really appreciate it
Nice video buddy , i helped my buddy yesterday fixing his alignment lol
Wrangler Addiction thanks mate really appreciate it, hope it helped
Cheap Jeeper yeah he owns a 2005 tj rubicon we installed a little lift .
Wrangler Addiction awesome, we never got the rubicon in Australia, what lift did he go with?
Cheap Jeeper 2.5 inch terraflex
Wrangler Addiction good choice
Nice. It doesn't mess up the alignment?
Good question, I noticed no difference after but that’s doesn’t mean it does.
My steering wheel is straight and so are my wheels but now I can’t turn good
Does it feel like it is hitting on something?
@@Whiteandsonsgarage from what I can see nothing looks bent or touching, I slid and hit a bank, but I drove home just fine. your video helped with getting things straight but now I can’t turn right for whatever reason
I need to do this. Mine of to the right a bit aswell
ItsGeorge nice, now you know it’s a easy fix, have you changed some steering parts over?
I've had the jeep for about 6 months. Wheel has always been off to the right. I'm guessing previous owner has done some stuff but it all looks stock under there.
ItsGeorge as long it drives straight ist all good, will you adjust the wheel?
Yeah drives straight, will have to adjust in the upcoming days! Cheers for the video
ItsGeorge any time mate, thanks for the comment
