    1987 Chevy V10 steering wander

    I'll call them this week, gonna be tough to watch them with work schedule. As for using a fishing scale on ball joint preload, how exactly would I do that? Just hook the scale right onto the knuckle then pull?

    Didn't get one, I think all they did was set the toe

    Can I do this with hub and rotor attached ? How do I adjust it if it is too tight?

    Had the alignment done and it still feels the same, maybe a bit better, when I did the ball joints the knuckle preload did feel tight. Maybe this is the issue ? Should I loosen the preload sleeves on the upper ball joints?

    Going to take it to an alignment shop this evening, seems like the caster is off hopefully they can get it right

    Sticking side to side, how do I set the preload on the knuckle? They seemed tight when I did the ball joints, I torqued the upper ball joint adjustment sleeve to spec

    The one I put on there is a skyjacker, can't tell if that's the issue but I doubt it

    1987 Chevy v10 on 2 inch lift rear blocks, all front end components new. Steering box is new with weld on brace and bolt on brace, XJ shaft, new stabilizer, heavy duty tie rod from Off-road design. New ball joints and TREs everywhere. Around 35-50 mph I feel like I may lose end up in the other...

    Toe adjustment 1987 V10

    I think the driver side with the hole in the TRE is way too long, I still have about 2 inch of thread left on it, the adjusting tube doesn't thread that deep. On my 87 v10 originally come with the 7/8 long adjustment tube or was something swapped?

    Eyeballing it until I can dial it in, it looks way off as it sits, both tires pointing outward a good bit

    Toe adjustment 1987 V10

    I have an 87 v10 and my toe is out, the front end of my front tires are poking away from each other. I have the long adjustable tie rod with the tie rod ends on each end. I have adjusted the tie rod as far as it will go and the tires still aren't close to parallel. It's almost like my tie rod...
