anybody have an idea on how to get rid of the massive toe-out when the suspension is all the way up?
mine appears to be toe'd out about 2" and yes, at ride height it's in spec...i'm running as much caster as possible (about 3 degrees pos) and oem specs for camber...

any ideas?

Lower your tie rod end with a spacer to make the tie rod and lower a -frame the same angle. if yopu look at Adams rally car thread it has them.

This is similar to what your going to need. either find a sleeve that fits your inner tie rod that converts to a heim or change your whole tie rod assy. to heims on both ends.

 I know what bump steer is ( i wanted to say there before i reply)I agree what has been stated already just check your upper support bushings where the two stays from the body go to the trunion..Thats what caused my bump steer in my 64 both rear bushings were shot replaced problem solved....Then i put the straight axle in....
