Re: Wheel Alignment
 
The only aligment adjustments that can routinely be made on a TJ is toe-in
and steering wheel angle (drag link).

Caster can be adjusted with special cam bolts on the lower control arms, or
replacement control arms, but that generally isn't needed, unless your
suspension is modified (i.e. lifted). There is no camber adjustment, if your
camber is out of spec, your axle is bent.

Your shop is telling you what? That the TJ isn't supposed to need a front
end alignment?
