Keeping steering wheel straight adjust the rack and pinion until passenger wheel is straight, then adjust toe-in.

Thank you! I will try that this afternoon and see. There was about a 2 inch difference from spindle to spindle on old axle and new axle.

It’s about 2” to long so adjusting rack that much is really going to affect my steering isn’t it?
