Need help finding steering geometry dimensions for 2006 Wrangler TJ — kingpin to wheel & tie rod distances

[MudRunner06]

Hello,

I’m working on a project that involves modeling the steering geometry of a 2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ), and I’m trying to find two specific measurements:

1. Center of rotation (Kingpin) to wheel centerline distance
2. Distance from kingpin center to tie rod joint center

If anyone has measured these before or knows approximately what these values would be, I would greatly appreciate knowing them.

For reference, I’ve seen similar measurements for a Mahindra Bolero (which uses a comparable solid front axle):

• Kingpin to wheel = ~120 mm or 4.72 in
• Kingpin to tie rod = ~145 mm or 5.7 in

Research article I am referencing for my project: https://www.ijert.org/research/stru...ptimization-of-pitman-arm-IJERTV9IS080031.pdf

I just want to confirm whether the TJ is in a similar range or significantly different.
