Well. This one is puzzling me. Changed inner, outer tie rods and pit and idler arms ( 2 years ago ). This due to alignment issues and the old parts where toast.

Earlier this year I went to a shop for alignment and they found too many parts wrong to be able to do it. There advice was 300 ish dollars worth of work and parts.
Upper and lower control arms, both sides. All front wheel bearings and ther race's. Front brakes.
No idea currently why they have removal and reinstall of the steering gear.

Over the course of the last few weeks I changed.
Upper and lower ball joints both sides. Changed lower arm buchings. Changed strut bolt bushings. Changed sway bar bolts and bushings.
Front brakes where fine but the brake fluid was well over its usefullness.
While I was under there I also did gear box oil. Last owner would seem to have used GL5 instead of 4. There was what I would describe a lot of copper shavings in the oil. Changed if out got GL4 of slightly different weight over the recommended.

Did alignment myself ( not that I have the right tools or space for it ). Seemed not bad. Camber for as far as I could test it was the same left and right. Left set the gsuge on 0 and right gave me 2.5 degree's. Measuring slope on the ground with a simple level gave me between 2 and 3 degree's. Thus this would seem ok.
Not sure how to do Caster.
Shims where put back the same way I took them out after removing and pressing in the ball joint. Upper arm bushings I could not find thus the originals remain. They seemed ok. Least compared to the lower ones. Lower arm bushings where virtually gone.
The ball joints did not seem to have and marks on them as to what direction to press them in. So those where just pressed in. Somehow I magically pressed them in the same way with the hole for the pin in the bolt facing the arm... What a pain to put the pin in that way.
But got it all together. Surprised at some of the torque specs in the hanes manual though. They seem very high for some small bolts.
After all the work and hours sweating in the blazin sun out here. I would seem to have failed in my endevor.

After my own alignment I have horrible screeching tires. After I have had the shop I went to last time align them. It got no better. Crossing fingers and thinking "Put the other wheels on. It may help". Was no better. Worse even. Pick-up is janking me all over the place at the tiniest touch of the wheel.
I will have to re-check my work again but at the same time I would find it odd for me to mess up on these things. Really making me wonder what else it could be or what the last owners could have possible done that prevents this.

Time to hide somewhere and blow up some zombies!
