    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    Yeah, have now had 3 wheel alignments at Firestone done. I have replaced tie rod ends and idler arm. Still pulls as much to the right as when it started. Firestone says that they can only do so much because there is “excessive play” in the steering box. Actually there is not a lot of play in the...

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    Yeah it’s kind of self centering now but not as much as it should. Right turns are a lot faster and easier than left turns. I have to pull harder on the steering wheel to turn to the left. Before I did my own wacko alignment the car would veer off to the right like i almost missed that highway...

    Sorry about that, here’s the sheet from the first time I went.

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    Yes I have checked that there is no play in the tie rod ends. There’s play in the steering box though but not terrible for 200 000 miles.

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    I took out the wheel bearing, it looked fine. I repacked it. Perhaps it’s the steering box that’s somehow screwed up.

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    Haha yeah I figured Firestone weren’t the best. I very rarely use any shops for anything. Yes the tie rod ends are the ones that I’ve adjusted to make him not pull as much. But of course now the angles are messed up and causing vibrations and a snake drive.

    sitting in the car I have 1.8 turns to full right and full left, so it seems steering wheel is centered.

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    I’ll try this. Right now the cars is going fairly straight but with alignments totally out of spec to compensate for the pull. Right front is turned in one full turn and front left 0.5 turn out to the left.

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    It’s a 2WD drive yes. I’ve jiggled the front right and haven’t felt any movement to indicate a bad wheel bearing. I’ve spun the wheels and they spin fine. I haven’t done the steering box test. The steering box is leaking oil and I regularly have to refill it.

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    I’m glad to hear that a rear toe shouldn’t affect the steering. I haven’t checked the front hub but the wheels spin freely and I can jerk them and they seem tight. Maybe the front hub starts the issue when it’s under pressure and that’s why it’s pulling?

    Rear wheel toe on 90 suburban RWD

    My 90 Suburban pulls to the right, I’ve had it to Firestone twice for alignment and every time it pulls just as much to the right. Those guys don’t bother to test drive the car apparently and didn’t notice that the left rear wheel has a 0.2 degree negative toe (pointing out). I am guessing...

    Charcoal Canister 90 Suburban

    My 1990 Suburban chugs a little bit at idle when warm. Also takes a little while for it to start. When it chugs at idle i can see the gas gauge move a little bit with every chug. Could this be because of a plugged gas tank vent? How do I test the charcoal canister and the hoses? I have two...
