July 1, 201113 yr Author comment_360289 Thanks Steven. Problem solved, but I'm not sure I learned anything in the process. I still don't know how simply changing out steering and suspension parts, while taking all the regular precautions to make sure everything was reassembled properly, resulted in the toe being so far out of spec. Since the car came from the factory with no camber adjustment at all it just does not make sense to me that in order to get the toe in set properly, the A-arm camber adjusters had to be adjusted to the max setting.

July 1, 201113 yr comment_360311 I wonder if the max setting is close to the factory location? Perhaps the the previous owner cut down the tie rod ends where they screw in to provide more adjustment when the camber was adjusted the other way ? Did you measure the old tie rod ends against the new ones ?

July 1, 201113 yr comment_360346 Wow that must have been a "squirrely" front end at high speed if the camber bushings were like that prior to the work!I had a right rear shock go and the ride was "snakey".
