Hi,

I hope i post this in the correct place, and you will understand my problem.
For me it is a bit difficult to describe it. The car is like "drifting" on the road, and you have to steer all the time to run it straight. I think there is something with the wheel cohesion (if this is how you call it...).
I tried to adjust it, but i don't know how much should be the difference between the front and the back distance between the 2 front wheels. I set it to have a bit less distance in the front, but i can test it only tomorrow.
(I checked all the other parts of the steering system, and everything seems to be good.)

If you have any ideas to set it right, please let me know!
thanks,
Balage

 

Sounds like your problem is caster, not toe-in. Caster is the angle of the spindle pivot axis relative to the control arms. More caster (top of the spindle further back than the bottom) will make the car more stable. You adjust caster by changing the shims between the upper control arm shaft and the frame.

 

Yep, sounds like caster or a worn steering gear.
The consensus from all I've seen seems to be +1-1/4 degrees positive caster, minus -1/4 degrees negative camber and 1/8" toe-in.
I just went through the same thing and ended up doing the box, they started getting loose soon as you pulled out of the new car dealer's lot to take the car home back in the day.

 

the overcenter adjustment on the steering box might be too tight

 

Actually, I'm assuming that there are no worn parts in the steering linkage or suspension. You should definitely verify that before changing any alignment settings.

 

Check your rear axle also.could have loose or worn bushings.
