    Yes. I agree on the alignment. However, am I correct in thinking that simply loosening the nuts, turning the gear & re-tightening will suffice for now?

    I think so... I've never tried that myself but that's what the alignment guys do anyway, at least I think so.

    K. I am first of all asking cuz I am a curious sort. Second, I am asking about the vid & the marking cuz I like to know how to do things the right way for the next time or to help someone else. & third, I am asking about my making this adjustment myself because I am installing leaf springs on Monday & will need an alignment after that. Since it will be under the 30 day warranty of the one I got after the 1st tie rod install, I will not have to pay. I suppose I could go tomorrow as well. Really get my money's worth....
