Steering

[fondo]

Hey there all, I was reading through my chilton manual and it had a chart for the toe values for our pathy's. For the 1991 4 wheel drive it shows 0.08-0.24 inches toe in for a radial tire. Does this mean that the front of the tire must be 0.08"-0.24" less than the rear of the tire? I measured mine from the outside to outside of tire and I measured 68-1/4 in the front and 68-3/4 in the rear meaning I have about 1/2" of toe in... right. Should the toe in stay the same whenever you downsize or upsize your tires or does it need to be adjusted accordingly? I'm currently running BFG's which are 31x10.50 on 16" wheels and I have no plans to change from status quo. Does 1/2" of toe in seem excessive or even dangerous to ya'all and should I adjust. Any one know what toe they're runnin'. I'm also trying to correct my steering from tracking off to the right when going down the road; I want my steering wheel to be straight when I'm heading straight!!!. I would like to know if anyone has some measurements of tie rod ends and # of threads that are showing past the lock nuts on the inner as well as outer tie rods on both sides of the vehicle so I have something to go by. The chilton again tells me the tie rod should be 11.06'"or 281 mm.

Keep in mind it is the stock drag link and tre's. Is this something I can do myself or should I take it to an alignment shop so they get it right?

Thanks and sorry for a semi-lenghty post.

Anyone??? Anyone??? I guess I should say that to much toe in can have "dangerous" results as far tire wear is concerned.
