I will answer Lovett's e-mail in the post so if someone wants to add or correct it or has a similiar problem they can chime in. There is plenty of adjustments in the tie rod sleeves. You can see how far they are screwed in through the slots in the sleeves. Useually they are hard to turn at first unless they have been adjusted recently. Use plenty of penatrant. There is a special tool to turn them with but you might get by putting a screw driver in the slot & turning them. If you use pliers or pipe wrench it just squises them tighter. I dont know of any torque specks for the bolts on the sleeves but just snug them up. If you want to set the toe in yourself, raise the front wheels & scribe a line around the center of the tire with a sharp instrument by holding it against the tire resting on a block or stand & turning the wheel to make a line around the tires. Set the truck on the ground with the wheels straight ahead & centered like dicussed earlier. Have someone hold a tape measure on the line at the rear of the tire & measure across to the line on the other tire. Go to the front of the tire & measure the same way. The front should 1/8 in. less then the rear. That's about the best I can explain it. I hope it helps.

They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
