Re: Toe-in
I bought a stickie tape from Hobby Lobby for $2.39 and a shower curtain from Wallmart for about $10
Loosen tie rod bolts (9/16”) on both the left and right side of the tie rods.
Do not make adjustments by turning spindles at end of tie rods, only the tie rods. On the right side tie rod turning the vice grip clockwise will decrease the measurement, counterclockwise will increase the measurement.
First, take the front tire measurement with shower rod with the car about 3 feet back. Front measurement must be 1/16 less than rear measurement. Thus, this will cause the toe in. / \
Second, pull the car forward so the rod will automatically be placed on the rear part of the tire. Read the tape and see what the toe in/out is.
Make adjustments while rod is still positioned on the rear of the tire.
Adjustment is done by clamping vise grip on tie rod and turning tie rod, either clockwise or counterclockwise. The turn is dependent if you need to adjust in or out. While turning tie rod you will see the shower rod moving on the scale on the shower rod.
After achieving the 1/16 toe in, do the process 1 more time as a double check.
