Front end feels really sloppy

I did a full front build on another (old) car I have and am doing it again on my '68 Dart GTS as we speak.

I can't stress enough:

- how different (better/smoother/more responsive) it will feel when you're done

- how much safer the car will be

- how much longer your tires will last 8 ^)

btw, did you do any "seat of the pants" measuring between the front tires? We use to do this, just to get a car from the garage, to the alignment shop. After we replaced tie rod ends (or any steering components), we'd measure from side to side, on the front of the tires, then the back, (9 o'clock and 3 o'clock as you look at the tire from the position of staring at the hub cap))choosing the same spot each time.

Does that make sense?

It's a lot easier (almost necessary) to have two people).

It'll give you a rough (I do mean rough) idea of whether your close to being in alignment (toe in/out only). If you haven't done it yet, then after the front end rebuild, you will, just to get it to the shop you choose to do the alignment.
