Car is a 1955 Pontiac Starchief. I installed a new drag bar, it looks as if when I make the left wheel straight the right is slightly pointing outward. And vice versa if I make the right straight. One of them has to be off, if so how do I adjust this? Any advice? Thanks! Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Not sure what kind of drag link is on your Pontiac but as a general rule this should get you close. First center the steering wheel, now take a string and run it from the rear sidewall of a back tire and stretch it to the front sidewall of the front tire. With the tie rod loose turn the front wheel until the string just touches the sidewalls. Now the front and rear wheel are aligned. Do the same thing on the other side then adjust the tie rod ends until they go into the steering arms. Now you can set the toe in to about 1/8" by turning the drag link. Tighten the clamps and you should be good enough to get to an alignment shop.
