I did a sight down the side walls to get it "eyeball" close. Actually that ended up giving me a 1/4" toe in according to my tape measure to parallel tread bars on the tires. A bit more tweaking and I got what appears to be 1/8" toe in.

I would have liked to measure to the wheel on each side but was unable to figure out how to do that with it sitting on the floor. My tired old body couldn't get into a place to actually do that.

A test drive gave a good feel at the wheel with no wandering.

Thanks everyone.

Randy
