ok everything is together on my front 60 but i noticed that the top of the tires are point out. if your looking at the front of the jeep the tires are doing a V. what do i have to do to get them to stand straight. i know i can take it to an alignment shop but right now im working out steering issues and id like to just either get it close or fix it all together.

its a drivers side drop 60 with king pins and avalanche hi steer arms.

Haha...I went through the same thing...I thought I was smoking crack...just drive it...it will return to normal...I think it is an illusion due to the castor, etc...Mine look like a v sometimes and straight other times...tire wear is fine on the front...

you need to rotate your axle to the correct caster, and the camber will be perfect i believe the correct caseter for a jeep is 4-6 degrees negative which means that the kingpins point slightly back at an angel, this helps the vehicle return to center and track straight down the road hope that helps.
