I swapped the tires side to side and front to rear to help with tire wear. Seems to have made a difference. Going on a long distance tour next week and I'll have a good feel for the changes. I also adjusted the tie rods sleeves 1/2 turn. Steering wheel is now centered. Small changes - great results. Thanks.You alway move both wheels in the direction the wheel is off. In your case the wheel is off to the right. So think of it like this. The wheel needs to be rotated counter clockwise to be straight. With the car setting still do just that. Now you will see with the wheel straight the tires are pointed to the left. Thus with the wheel now being straight both tires have to go to the right. Toe the left wheel inward, and the right wheel outward. Move the sleeves exactly the same amount. You didn't say how far off it is. Start with a 1/2 turn for each side. It may need more, may need less. Just be very carefull to turn both the sleeves the the same direction of rotation and the same amount.Then test drive. When you have the wheel straight recheck your toe. If it's off adjust both sides equally. This is a sensitive adjustment. One complete revolution is only .0555". I have seldom seen the rear tires cause the pull. But it is possible. Cross the fronts alone first.
