My '91 940 turbo wagon was hit from the side, at low speed, directly on the drivers front wheel. The tie rod end was broken, and I replaced that. The tie rod itself was slightly bent, so I heated that and straigntened it out again. However, the wheel assembly now tilts outward at the bottom. It's not tilted that badly, but I would like it fairly correct so tires won't wear out prematurely. I've been told there are no adjustments to correct this. I just want to get it straight up and down again, because I had wanted to sell it just before the accident. Are there any sugestions as to what I can do? I'm quite mechanically inclined, having done a lot of stuff on various cars (including 3 Volvos) through the years. Thanks!
