Front end feels really sloppy

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.

That makes sense, I eyeballed the allignment too, also measering the tierods and keeping them as close in length to eachother as possible. It tracks straight but I'm getting it aligned ASAP.

I eyeballed the alignment as best as I could and the car tracks staight with no uneven tire wear.
I think I just got lucky with the eyeballing.

There are some webiste that can help you align it without a rack, but I don't have them handy so maybe you can google something.

I can imagine what this car would do with some fat tires out front and independent suspension, but that's not gonna happen.

I'm runnin' 225/55/15's up front, and 295/50/15's in the rear, it can hug a corner pretty well...

Can't wait to get all the front end stuff, tearing stuff like that down only replace it with all fresh new components is awesome. I just did the same to the rear suspension on my beetle since I did the Subaru engine swap on it... it makes such a difference KNOWING everything is new and fresh.

I'll be calling soon PST!
