I FINALLY finished my suspension rebuild. Tokico Lowering Springs and struts, new tie rod ends, ball joints, tension rod bushings, upper wheel bearings. I knew I would need an alignment afterwords. I tried to drive it, but, it turns horribly. I can't even describe the feel. Any advice on what specs I should look for on the alignment? Thanks

When the steering wheel is straight, are the front tires straight? When I rebuilt my front end, I left the tie rod arms loose in the knuckle so I could drop them back out, adjust, reinstall, and get the front tires straight. Then I took it to an alignment shop and had it done professionally for $60.

They both point in at the front. Otherwise they look straight.

So drop your tie rods and wind them out a lil until they are not pointed in.

you do know you don't have to take the tie rod out of the knuckle to adjust it, right?

Oh yeah... me forgots about dat.

Yeah, just loosen the nut and the inner tie rod spins in it's socket.
