Sunlit, I replaced that missing end link and now when I turn tight in a parking lot going slow I my front tires squeal, any idea?

mine does the same and my right toe is out only 0.8°. i think it is a combination of crappy tire material build and i think the wheels split angles away from each on on tight turns. mainly because of the geometry of the various linkages when turning. not as bad as the old benz's i have worked on.

Ok, I'm going to be doing a full front end rebuild next year and new tires as well, ill have to see how it affects it then

well i doubt you have bent suspension parts so make a tight turn while parked and look at the wheel assembly and you can see a bit of a difference in the angle of each one. would not normally be an issue with rack and pinion so much but remember we have 7 moving parts in the linkage that can create a non-matched wheel direction alignment.

I think the alignment may be off, either that or the control arm bushings are in bad enough shape that there is excessive movement. Ill know more when I get the new bushings and press the old ones out

picture all your work if you can.
I think it is the rear. I'll have to check it out thanks for the tip.

Unplugged the a/c condensation drain so water will drain outside rather than inside. Glad I invested in the husky floor mats a long time ago.

Waiting for my parts from RockAuto to come in tomorrow. Got all new MOOG tie rod ends and adjusting sleeves. New Gates belt tensioner and goodyear gatorback belt. And i got a new TYC tail light lense because one was hazed up.

Figured out why my engine kept stumbling even after a new distributor to replace the corroded one. Turns out the little clamp that holds it in place was loose, allowing the dizzy to rotate so far that the computer couldn't compensate. Twisted it back to where it should be and tightened the bolt, and now it's once again running like liquefied silk.
But I'm still struggling to figure out why gets real squirrelly over bumps. I've ruled out everything but a rear shock or the internals of my gov-lock diff. Nothing else is wrong.

I had a buddy pushing on it sideways to get it rocking and I could find nothing anywhere.

The rear end gets squirrelly over bumps on the interstate, so bad lately it's almost dangerous and I've taken to commuting by back roads to work (20+ miles each way) I need to pinpoint what's wrong so I can fix it.
