I am still chasing the front end shimmy that I thought I might have resolved:

https://www.brickboard.com/RWD/volvo/1647031/740/760/780/front_end_shimmy.html

It is back and I continue to chase..

In checking (and double checking) the measurement difference from the front of the tires to the back of the tires (or as close as I can get without chassis interference) I have 3/16" toe in. That seems to be too much. My failing memory seems to recall a setting of 1/16"" but I am unsure. Specs on line are given in degrees and I don't know how to convert against my measurement.

When I replaced the tie rod end recently I counted threads and feel that I now have the same toe in as was present with the old tie rod end.

Using my "ball park" method what would be a reasonable amount of toe in?

Thanks,
Randy
