Fixed the turning to much to the left problem - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I fixed my turning to much to the left problem when using 73 to 87 front suspension. The first picture is the left tie rod and the 2nd is the right. I didn't have much room to adjust the left so It could toe the tire in more to the right and I only had so much room to adj the right side out. So I took the outer left tie rod end out and trimmed 1/2 inch off which allowed me to get more adj to the right and I turned the right side out as much as I could and that cured my problem. Had to throw in the picture of the truck up on the rack just because.

I did all this with the pitman arm parallel with the frame.

Thanks... I think the worst part is how easy it was. Took me a while to figure out what to do.
