What corrected the toe in problem when backing up? We are having the same issue with ours.




To be honest we are not sure exactly what we did to correct that problem. Before I could hardly back up my car, now it will roll by itself down the slight incline in my driveway. We still have more testing to do. What front end do you have on your car?

Basic solution for proper ackerman:

Draw a line from the (centered) rearend pinion through the spindle.
The outer tie rod end, front or rear steer, should be on this line.
This is why you must never, ever use stock rear steer spindles on a
front steer rack conversion.

Basic solution for bump steer:

The tie rods must be the same length, have the same pivot points as
and be parallel with the lower control arms when viewed from the
front/rear or the top/bottom. They must move in complete unbinding
concert with each other.

Need a little clarification , the line through the spindle? Do you mean center of ball joint?


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Sorry for the 4 year old bump.. But is Tory Shellhammer (TShell) still around? His work seems pretty darn nice.

I just love how you have it laid out so nicely on the table. Shows everything for people to see. Mine is slow but coming along nicely, just keep adding more and more to it.
