I've freed up both tie rod adjusters and it looks like I need to adjust both tie rods to bring arms slightly to drivers side. I have Lenzi adj drag link so I can then recenter box/ wheel. I've set a 2' wooden 1" square stock over the idler to act as an extended pointer arm to eye it up. Is this the best way or is there an actual measurement to take for straight? (I have the Jerry Work kit so I plan to do the front alignment but up till now one adjuster was rusted so to get zero tow I could only turn one side which slightly put the arms off center.) I plan to center this, then try caster/camber and then reset toe, but want to start with arms centered. My cams are on center so Dave said I have room to dial in some caster. My brain always cramps thinking which way to turn tie rod adjusters. Is there a trick to remember?
