How To Fix Front Wheels Pointing Different Directions Adjust Toe

- My Camaro had a crooked steering wheel. Upon further inspection, I noticed that whenever the steering wheel was straight, the front passenger tire was straight, but the driver side tire was pointed to the left as if turning slightly. When your wheels are pointed different ways, you need to check your toe. If your tire rods are bent then just get new ones, as it is very difficult to adjust toe with a bent tie rod.

Yo man I like how you do it. Cool as hell. Regular dude no big lift and computers. Old school on the floor doing work
Thanks man! Take a look at my latest videos. Still staying all old school and common hand tools
Great video bad ass Camaro you got there
thanks bro.. I learned a lot from this video... very helpful....
Thanks Mann!! Replaced my suspension and i truly needed this information !! I'm correcting the toe in the morning of my Stang !!
hey bro! do you have the same problem?
mi steering wheel is on line with the left wheel , but the right one is a lil bit open to outside
@@fherzhodakid I had to re-adjust both sides of outer tie rods.. used the string method to adjust.. then I was fine..took it to alignment shop for Proper adjustment of everything.
@@ChefGadaGhunsha do you have instagram bro? i been having the same issue and i went to 3 diff aligment places
You don't need to take the tie rod end loose. If you want to turn the wheels in loosen the Locking nut and turn the threaded rod in which will pull the tie rod in
I tried that on this Jeep liberty and all it does is throw the steering wheel off doesn't affect the toe in or out.still pulls to the right even after cranking it the direction needed. steering wheel will be off if I turn it any other direction.
@@jasonkoz8985 that's not possible. If your steering wheel position changed so did wheel toe
@@jasonkoz8985 that doesn't make any sense. Seriously fixing toe in/out isn't a new thing.
😂

I agree with you. I had the same problem. This video solved it.
I caused my problem though. I didn’t strap the steering down and I also turned the passenger tie rod in too much. As a result, one wheel was straight and the other turned inward. No matter how many times I went under the car to readjust it I just couldn’t get it right until I came across this video. Not only did he help me straighten up the wheels, it also solved my alignment problem. Front and back measurements were exactly the same.
Thank you man
Why would you disconnect the tyrod will you have to do is twist the inner tyrod
Thank you
You don't need to take the tie rod off to change toe. Only need to take the tie rod off to fix the boot or replace completely. Nice how to tho but can save ppl some work.
You are correct :) Didn’t know that back then lol
Smart kid
I went straight into a curb and my driver wheel pointing to the left will this fix it
If you hit something and immediately you’re wheels are pointing different directions, then most likely you bent something in the suspension
Nice Vid.....My Sienna 2000 Model Front Wheel Passenger Side Points Inward, What Do I Do?
If the car was not in an accident adjusting the tie rods like I show in this video could be a simple fix to get you by till you can get an alignment done
I took my Lexus rx350 suv for alignment to the shop 5 different times because still pulled left and right they didnt charge me for the other time only 1 price. And they rotated my tires still pulls left and right. Could it be my tie rods?
If the car has been in an accident before sometimes its hard to say if it is a fixable problem. If no accidents then that shop is doing a terrible job lol. As a general rule of thumb, if the tires don't both point the same direction then it is an out of aligned tie rod / bent tie rod.
@@bluesxt I have a car I bought previous wreck and it’s AWD pulls to the left and right real fast and bad front right tire is closer to the fender than the other
was replacing a ball joint and accidentally turned the steering wheel with the joint disconnected and the cv axle out. DOH! messed up the driver side wheel. the passenger side wheel was still proper with the steering wheel. Is this the only way to correct it temporarily until I can make it to the alignment place?
Oh no haha been there before. Yes this method of adjusting the tie rod ends will get your toe back close enough so you can get to the alignment place. If the passenger side is still where it was and aligned with the steering wheel then only touch the driver side toe
Just put the axle back in and make sure there's a clip to prevent it from accidentally coming out
That boot is hit kid lol
