i searched for a long time through all 500 posts about the subject but none answered my questions
1. is there a specific torque for the crown nuts on the tre's?
2. when replacing these should i crank all the adjustments all the way in and use the tie rod bar and drag link adjustment to get them lined up so they have the same amount of threads on both sides?
3.will bad toe/alignment cause really bad bumpsteer? i replaced my tie rod bar and drove it to NTB without touching anything else and got horrible bumpsteer.
thanks for your help
