You could have tie rod length same as lca and have same toe issues. That indicates that the two are in different arc. toe out is the least desirable you have to play with outer tie rod heights until you get the least of toe change. look in mopar chassis book it shows how to do this by making a sweep graph. .That is why we heat and bend the tie rod mount at the end of the lower ball joint or get adjuster kit and use hime joints.

This probably wont help but Herb talks about it here. Interesting video none the less.


Thanks, that was a great video! up He did mention how he worked on the front end to make sure the tires moved up and down straight....

I am unable to find a copy of this on Amazon, etc... If it is not too much trouble, could you post a pic/copy of this section: making a sweep graph.

My buddy Patrick made a bump steer gauge and plotted mine on the Valiant when he remounted the rack. I think he found a video on YouTube showing how to do it.

then send it to you ?

That would be great! Jsintexas2 domain is yahoo

After a bit more reading, I fully understand what the issue is... now, I am just trying to determine what the easiest/best way is to resolve it.
