Years ago when I had my motor out I installed a new center tie rod, the one with ball joints. The car drove and steered great after the install, now 6 years later I noticed the inside edge of the tires are wearing more then the rest of the tire. I can not find anyone in town that will align an old car, so I will try to do it at home. Today I built a jig to measure the distance between the tires. I marked the center of each tire and measured the distance across the back then the front, the front is 3/8" wider then the back which explains the wear on the inside edge of the tires. The factory specs show 1/8" toe-in, is that an 1/8" total or each side with a total of 1/4"? Reading the manual it looks like it should a 1/4" wider in the rear of the tires, but that seems like to much. Here is the jig I built.
