I have the dreaded factory alignment problem on my AWD 05 Freestyle Limited that causes the accelerated tire shoulder wear. Dealer refused to do anything about it despite the fact that TSB 06-15-4 says they should align it according to the revised specs and replace my trashed tires under warranty. OK, rant over with - here's my question:
Anyone know the relationship between number of turns (or "flats") on the tie rod and the amount of resulting toe? I need to add about 0.1" total toe-in on the front and about 0.05" total toe-in on the rear. Haven't actually looked at the rear wheels and method of adjustment yet but I'm hoping it's straightforward.
I can use my high school trigonometry to try to figure it out or use good old trial and error but I'd really like to save myself an hour or 2 if someone has that info handy.
Thanks
Robert
