[QUOTE="urbex, post: 762492, member: 15915"] As I mentioned in the first post, I've been playing with a bunch of toe settings, going from 1/4" out to 1/4" in, and eventually settled on 1/16" in as the most stable, but that's not really saying much. I think I initially started with 1/4" in, and problems were obvious by 20mph or so. Played with a bunch of adjustment after, and the 1/16" got me up to around 25-30mph before the issues started...so "better", but still not really driveable. I was actually thinking about the wheelbase left/right match earlier..I didn't mess with the lower links after I initially set it up, but I'm not discounting the possibility that I might have mismeasured or adjusted it later and forgot...or..something. At this point, the only thing I'm positive of is "something ain't right", lol. I'm planning on basically rechecking everything this weekend - toe, caster, camber, wheelbase, ride height left/right & axle centering left/right. I'm 99.9% positive I had the axle centered, but every time I look at the photo above, I feel like I'm seeing more angle on the passenger side coilover compared to the driver's side, and now it's bugging me. I made jigs for the upper and lower coilover mounts to ensure they went in identically left/right on the frame and axle tubes, but I'm checking that again too. I'm also planning on making up a couple alignment bars to bolt to the hubs, to try and get a more accurate measurement than the string and ruler method I've been using (stretching a string across two stands parallel with the rear axle on either side, then measuring the front wheels for toe off that string) [/QUOTE]
