4x4 front axle

[Kstan]

Why does my toe change when going backwards and then when I go forwards ?

 

[winston1]

Are you talking about front axle toe in? If so, worn components are likely the cause.

 

[Kstan]

Yes talking front axle . What components are we talking about rod ends are tight . I’m saying the toe changes an inch each direction I travel

Time to jack it up and see where it moves by pushing/pulling the wheels. Got to be something worn, bent or broken.

 

[RustyA]

Pretty much it has to be one of three things...
Loose lug nuts
Worn inner or outer tie rods
Worn or loose bearings

 

[repete]

Or loose steering gear box.

 

[RustyA]

Steering box might cause play in steering wheel but should not affect front wheel toe-in...

Ditto.

 

[JasperFrank]

Or a broken C-clip that holds the whole lower axial assembly in place.

Look like the woodruff key slot at the top of the king pin is worn
