Alignment problems??
 
I have had to get an alignment everymonth and ive gone offroading 3 times in the last two months and have had to have 2 alignments does that sound right to anyone its a HUGE pain in the ass. What can i do to help prolong the alignment like a new steering stabalizer or what?

No that isn't right. Not unless you are just beating the holy he// out of it when you go 'wheeling. What exactly is wrong with it each time you get an alignment?

the steering wheel off and it pulls to the left. And no im not beating the hell out of it going 4 wheeling ive been 4 wheeling maybe 2 times in the last 2 months so i don't get why its out of alignment i think they just aligned it wrong to begin with.

they may be leaving the adjustment cams loose. if they do that, then the alignment will shift under moderate offroad conditions, causing it tohave to be redone. if they're making money each time you have it done, then this could be the culprit...

If it's the same shop doing the alignment, then that DEFINATELY may be the culprit...

I second the Downey Truss Bar. I experienced the same problem and since I added the Truss I have not had any alignment issues. You don't have to wheel it hard, just stuffing the wheel to full compressed can pull it out. After talking to Downey about this they convinced me the design of the lower control arms was its weak link. There are several threads about this. Do a search and look at some of the pictures. I am sure this will fix your problem. Let us know how if it does.
