First thing I would check is that the steering will turn all the way to the end of the steering gear travel, both ways, before the tie rod length stops it. Might be easier to take the tie rods off the pitman arm first.
Then count the turns from lock to lock. The arm should be the same distance from the side of the opening on both sides. Then go back 1/2 the turns and see if the pitman arm is pointing straight ahead, equal distance from each side of the opening. That will tell if the gear is operating and assembled as it should be.
With the gear still straight ahead, set the toe in, keeping the wheels equally straight as you make adjustments.
One more thing to check, before setting the toe in, that the arms are tight to the spindle shafts. Any slack at all will loose turning radius and change the toe in.
