P700m4 Front tire wear

[LandPioneer]

I'm sure this has been discussed before but I couldn't find a clear cut resolution. I noticed my front tires have accelerated wear lately. How do I check/adjust alignment?

I used a couple yard sticks and clamps to measure between the wheels. I adjusted the tie-rods until it was straight.

Some people say that it should have a slight (1/8") toe out but I didn't do it. I didn't think it matters on a vehicle that maxes out at 40mph and is used in dirt.

Here's the pic of what I did:

actually you want them toed in 1/8 inch for easier steering not out

Update... I used a string method I found online. Sorry Joey, I didn't have any rulers laying around LOL. My front end was WAY out of alignment. I think I got it much closer to square. I did a test drive down the road and it seemed much easier to steer. I'll find out this weekend because I'm headed to Windrock right after I get off work

I always use a tape measure

Mine looked a little like that when I bought it and I took it back in to the dealer. They checked it and found it in alignment. The tech told me that the front end will do that when you turn the wheels while parking or stopping but if you drive a few feet you see that it lines up. I did that and he was correct. Something with the suspension flexing with weight.

Get in front and have someone drive it at you and see what it looks like. But be sure it is someone you trust to stop before they get to you
