SIII Front End Alignment

[bullstanky]

The front end of my SIII 109" is basically all new: new front horn, new shackles, new steering gear, new ball joints on all of the steering links, new steering damper, and a new bumper and brush guard (big thanks to rwollschlager for donating his old series brush guard). It's been almost a 2 year journey to complete this stage of my under-funded restoration.

Everything looks pretty good, but I drove it the other day and thought the steering felt very "floaty" and loose. I was looking at the front end, and when the front left wheel is straight, it appears that the front right wheel is cocked out a bit to the right (see below)...what is this and how do I get them into alignment?

I think you want this in the Technical section, hopefully a moderator will move it.

All that is adjustable on the front end is the toe. The Green Bible will show how to check & adjust this to get a little bit of toe-in. After that, you may want to check & adjust the steering box to make sure you get rid of any excess play (don't make it too tight).

Yikes—totally not the right section...will repost to technical section.
