The front left wheel looked like it pointed way out compared to the right when the steering wheel was straight. So I rigged up a toe-measuring tool and it turns out there was a massive amount of toe-out, enough that I had to thread in the left side tie-rod 5/32".
Normal specs call for 1/16" toe-in on each side and by my measurements, toe-out was 5/16".

I've been driving like that for all the tests after the transfer case swap since almost at the same time I replaced the left side tie-rod.

Now I'm curious to see what effect that has on the fuel consumption reported by the trip computer.
