I checked the toe in today and it’s off. It’s off so much that I have to remove the tie rod link and give it a turn on the left side. Have you ever heard of such of a thing? The old tires wore great
Why would you remove the tie rod link - which I assume is the ball coupling at one end? The toe in is adjusted by turning the toe rod one way or the other. There is a right hand thread one end and a left hand one on the other. As for pulling right now, I also assume the tyre pressures are even?
