This is a follow up post to my earlier post regarding one turnbuckle rubbing on my wheel and eventually breaking at the plastic. As a result I took off servo links and measured them out to factory spec as per manual. I also did the same for the steering linkage as well as the suspension arm. they are all measured out to the manuals recommended length using a digital caliper. here is the problem. the right wheel is straight the the left wheel is turning way left. FYI the servo horns are centered and 90 degrees. I'm scratching my head here. I will post multiple pics that I took. Maybe someone can see what i can't. Thanks

for starters we need a good close up of the left servo turn buckel but it looks to be to far out screw the turn buckel in that will make the left tire go towards the front
 
turn the one going from the servo horn to servo saver or the one going from the servo saver to the wheel?
 
problem looks like its on the right turnbuckle (servo to saver adjusted out tooo much) pop off both of your servo arms, center your trim on your tx. now put your arms back on so both wheels are evenly toed out, and adjust everything evenly from there. the servo horns should end up in the 12 oclock position on both sides. i leave the truck and transmitter on (engine off)when i adjust mine because you can hear the servos whine if they start to fight eachother from uneven adjustment. as long as nothing is bent or broken it has to be an adjustment issue. cant really tell from the pics.

This is how I setup my dual steering RCs, which is very similar to what Pistol said. I center my trims on the servos with them powered up, put the servo horns on vertically, then adjust my servo linkages to where each servo saver is centered then adjust the steering links to get the desired toe in/out.
 
the servo horns need to be at 12:00 o'clock with the radio and receiver on and the trim centered the servo savers at 9:00 o'clock and 3:00 o'clock when you look down at the servo savers like the picture just below

I agree. Id check the horns and linksages, buckles etc. too. I noticed in the picture though you alum looks twisted though. Or ist it just me? Id also check the hinge pins at the lower end of the hub, swap wheels to see if its not true, and look for bent parts. Alum bends. Your cvd looks straight though so I don't know where the bend would be. Doenst hurt to check it though on a wild guess.Looked at your pic of other side. doesn't look bent like that.

I made some spacers out of washers and put them on inside of wheels. This caused them to push out just a few mm enough to have turnbuckles clear wheel. Servos are set up at 12 with savers at 9 and 3. That was never the prob. I think maybe something was bent.
