Re: DIY Front End Alignment

Well, I ran strings parallel with the back wheels and checked it couple places along the frame to make sure they were right on parallel.
The front wheels were about 3/4" toe out. So I put them at 1/8 inch toe in and now it shimmys when I get up above 40mph. It drives straight, but it shimmys. Before it would pull whichever way I was turning, but it didn't shimmy. Any idea what to check?
Oh, it isn't a wheel out of balance, because I know that feel. This you can feel the front end shimmying side to side.
