Pulled a tape on the front yesterday. First rib in on each side tape just touching the spring. That was to get the height the same on both tires. Close to the center-line of the wheel. Did the same on the back. Rolled the truck 2 revolutions forward and 2 back. 61 3/4 inch front, 61 1/4 on the back. Toe out not toe in...Well that could do it. Pushed one tie rod end off with a floor jack. Safer than a pickle fork. Measured from out side tie rod end to out side tie rod and gave the off tie rod end 1 turn out. Measured end to end again difference was 1/16 inch. so to move the front in and the back out I went 4 more turns. Should have moved 1/4 longer. Figured about 61 1/2 front and 61 1/2 back. Unless simple math had failed. Put it back on and rolled the truck again....measured 61 3/8 front. 61 1/2 back...? Then remembered the 1 turn I gave it at the first. Book says 1/16 to 3 /16. So did I do it right? Truck steers nice and the steering wheel did have to be reset. But maybe with all the changes I should just drive it and watch those tires? Stability in town is good. Those ribs will track any flaw in the road just a bit. And ran it up to 55 just to see what would happen. Still nice and straight. Any thoughts? Oh for those who want to do this..it was WORK! Nothing wanted to move. Lots of WD-40 and some big wrenches to move that tie rod end. I did slip a wedge shaped chisel into the clamp on the tie rod end to help get it loose on the tie rod. New bolt back in the clamp and it clamped just fine.
Thanks
