| What did you change that would affect toe-in? Doesn't make sense converting to disk would do it unless you changed the spindles. |

Location: Queens NY | I was thinking more of cutting the sleeve or making a smaller sleeve. Because i have no more threads on the tie rods to pull in. I guess i would have to cut both. Or find an outer tie rod that has more thread on it. |

Location: Perth Australia | I havnt done it, but putting the mounting plate for the calipers on spaces out the arm that the tie rod end connects to
I believe that you have to shorten the threads on the drag link and/ or the tie rod to allow the ball joint to wind in further to get the wheels pointing straight again?
