I agree 100% with Jerry, you're running almost straight up on your spindles. To me showing 0.17 toe on each side is bordering on too much. That totals to 0.340" which is close to 3/8" total toe in....

I'd say you're not done yet. Find a tire shop that has a Hunter Road Force Balancer and have them check your tires for Road Force. Sometimes you can shift them on the wheel to get them into spec,...

You've got parts that are or soon will be 40 years old, and normal wear on the tie-rod ends, ball joints, sway bar bushings, etc, etc is going to give you excessive play in the system. A quick...

Any good front end shop would give you both the OEM specs and their settings, if asked. As a former owner of a '71 Charger I cannot imagine that jacking up the back end three inches would result in...
