Adjustment sleeves - measure out steering ?

Hi !

My front wheels don't go in the same direction

I've been looking for some new adjustment sleeves ........ and found them.

Is there a trick that will make it easy to adjust my steering and the direction of my front wheels ?

It's a '66 C10 ?

Can anybody help me with a trick ?

I don't quite understand what the issue is. Could you elaborate a little or maybe even provide us with some pics?

Re: Adjustment sleeves - measure out steering ?

The issue is that the front wheels don't go in the same direction.
F.ex when the right wheel is directed straight , the left is turning ca. 1,5 inch. left.

I'll take some pictures later today :-)

Either go to an alignment shop or adjust it yourself till the front and back of the tire are equal measurements. Try this webite if you don't have an alignment shop. Scroll down till you see the pictures and step by step directions.
