    i have one which recently slowed me up..... i was on some very corrugated tracks for about 50 km,s and the tied rod nuts that lock the tie rod in place vibrated loose..... consequently the tie rod started to turn, being on on rutted sand it took a while to notice till the steering wheel had turned so dramatically then hit some harder stuff and geeze did i notice, it toed my wheels right in... i then jacked the front end up, packed out a string line from back wheel to front wheel, and measured the distances untill i go close as i could.... then tightened the nuts... it got me home but ruined one of my front tires but i was home.... so when you get a wheel allignment my suggestion is put a good few wraps of 100 mile and hour tape around them and the thread if going to be doing any kind of corrugation!!!!
    hope this saves some of you some time and rubber!!
