No you should now get the wheels aligned by a garage with the correct equipment.Hi there, just changed the right side tie rod end and tried to keep it in the same location. The car pull now slightly to the left. Should I tighten the tie rod to get it back on track?
Adjusting the tracking is easy.Of course this is the easy way of doing it, a Hunter system would give me the numbers in seconds. I was just wondering about the mechanics around the phenomenon. If nothing else has been changed then one side (right) tie rod end, steering is straight and now have slight pull to the left, there must be an logical explanation of the incorrect position. Any home mechanics out here?
It's just not worth the cost of prematurely worn out front tyres in the UK.Of course this is the easy way of doing it, a Hunter system would give me the numbers in seconds.

Great, but how did you check it finally?One turn in and half back and done. Thanks!
So you didn't actually measure it.Well, the front tire wear was good, the steering straight and did not pull before changing the tie rod end. If nothing else was changed, I assume by achieving the starting point would be acceptable.

I remember those days, it was when only X ply tyres were available and disc brakes hadn't arrived.It also makes no allowance for a slightly buckled wheel.
I don't believe what I just read.You *can* set the tracking by checking tyre warmth.

It isn't April 1st, so you're either serious, or delirious.
My bet's on the latter. Ö¿Ö
