Not too long ago I changed a new left-outer tie-rod (different brand than last one. I threaded in the same distance as previous tie-rod ends, but i still think the distance is off) and also got new tires (33"x9.5) install/balance a week ago.

Driving 550km to Toronto 2 days ago, i had to constantly hold the steering wheel a bit more pressure to the left, but not to the point where it's going right... When I brake, I get this left-right vibration to the steering wheel.

I am trying to follow the string alignment method described above.

I wrap one fishing line horizontally around all four tires. What now? Could someone repost those missing pictures?

What I see now:

-For toe-in, I have 13mm (0.5"+) difference btwn front & back of front tires. I think that too much toe-in, 1/8" is the spec right? Is it because I threaded in too much when I installed my new left outer tie-rod end, causing it to slightly go to the right?

-Passenger side: fishing line touche all 4 spots of both front and rear tires, without gaps. (front/rear sidewall of each tire)

-Driver side: Fishing line touche only 3 spots of both front and rear tires. with 1 gap. (touches front/rear sidewall of front tire, and only rear sidewall of rear tire, leaving a ~1/8" gap btwn the fishing line and the front sidewall of reartire.)

Does that confirm that my left front tire is toe-in too much threrefore creating that fishing line/front sidewall of rear tire 1/8" gap?

If anyone could find those picture, then I'm sure I will understand more about measuring the string part...which is point where I got lost...

btw, this is with bjs/no swaybar/30psi on all four. (Rear tire physically mesures 32-3/8" tall, front: 32" tall) Should also I air-up the front so tire stand equal height?)
