Re: Alignment
The outer Tie Rod on the one side def looks bent.
Clean & put reference marks on the damaged tie rod where it threads into the rest of the linkage (measuring the exposed threads on the damaged part is usually easy enough; a piece of masking tape around the exposed threads works quick & dirty as well). Remove the damaged part. Install new part & thread it in as close to the dimension pulled off the one removed. Reassemble. For temporary alignment, put the steering wheel straight (which should put your non-damaged side pointing straight). Once that's done turn the turnbuckle in or out as needed to get the repaired side in a similar position as the non-damaged side. Go get fresh tire/s & an alignment.

It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar..... Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol. Last edited by SCOTI; 08-13-2024 at 10:40 AM. |
