Default Re: Radial tires again

I know this is splitting hairs but with excessive toe-in and only the driver in the car while test driving, there is more weight on the drivers side front tire. It would make sense that it is pulling to the right. The left front tire with more weight on it is pushing the car to the right with excessive toe-in.

Dial the toe-in to about 1/16" and try it again. As Synchro909 said, loosen the tie rod end clamp bolts and rotate the actual tie rod only as the ends have left and right threads. It won't take much rotation of the rod to make a correction. 1/16" may be a bit light but your test drive will guide you as to the correct toe-in.

Before our last long road trip, I replaced my tires and wheels from 21" bias ply to 16" radials of equal diameter to the original tires on the rear and slightly smaller on the front. It became much more reactive to the steering wheel but less reactive to changing road surfaces. It took a bit of driving to get used to the difference.
Good Day!
