Tires won’t stay aligned
I put new bushings in then aligned the toe and camber. Every time I drive it the tires misalign again. Any ideas as to why? (2001 G14 that came with previous owners lift).

Re: Tires won’t stay aligned
Every time we drive it no matter the adjustment it ends up looking like this /...\ and when the wheel is turned one wheel turns much further than the other

Re: Tires won’t stay aligned
I think that you have some wear somewhere. Jack the front end up so that both wheels are off of the ground. It should be easy to find. You may need someone to hold the steering wheel. Grab each wheel and twist it back and forth. Any play=slack.

Re: Tires won’t stay aligned
Bushings, tie rods, king pins, wheel bearings will all affect the toe. Add a lift kit and you've increased the torque trying to push and pull against whatever toe setting you give it. Just the friction of the tires against the ground/pavement will put quite a bit of pressure on everything in the steering system. Also, G16's and older Yami's have "worm roller" type steering gear which are prone to wear - particularly around the center of steering travel. If the pitman can wobble around it will have a huge effect on your steering.
