LOWERED 69 (Alignment Issues) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JRB · 01-26-2006, 02:16 AM

I just completed the Disc Brake conversion on my 69 Stepside. I didnt take into account how the lowering would affect my alignment. The truck is now Duck footed. Yes the tires are going two opposite directions. This is where I get to my question. To adjust the tie rod ends do I just loosen the sinch collar and turn it or do I have to take the tie rod end out of the spindle and adjust it then put it back in the spindle? I hope there is a person out there that can help me get this somewhat close so I dont catch my tires on fire on the way to the alignment shop. Thanks for any help you can give.

Thanks,

JRB
