This and Larry’s comment support the mechanic’s observation that the tie rods are too long to get the front end aligned properly.
When he put the lasers on, they were behind the blocks.
The setup guide here says toe should be 4, which I take to mean 2 degrees of positive toe on each side.
I bought the next size smaller tie rods (270mm) along with the Snipers. I will try to rebuild the front end with my new column and new spindles if necessary. Thanks everyone for your input.
