Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
No need to pull tie rod from spindle. Just loosen up the jam nuts. Might want to check a couple YouTube videos that walk you through the process

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
I took some measurements. Front of tire (center to center) is 39.75" and rear of the tire is 41.875". I didn't believe it at first so I measured again..total of 4 times... and sure enough the measurements are correct. Given this big difference I am sending to the shop. Does this big a difference give any indication that this is more than a Toe-In problem?
Thanks |

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
YES! There should be about 1/8" or .125" of an inch difference [wider on the back]. Now you just have to loosen the jam nuts on the tie rod ends and turn the rods to adjust to specs. 10 min job max. I am surprised a shop would send a cart out that far out of adjustment.

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
2" of toe in will definitely make the vehicle feel dangerous. Get the toe in adjusted correctly and you will feel much better about it.

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
So, did you get the front end adjusted? Did it help with the handling?

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
I finally decided to take it to the shop and they put in new control arm bushings. Drives much better now but I think I can further improve it further by changing tires and wheels. Going to a smaller tire and wheel may help according to what I've read on here. Every little bit helps so I am going to try that. I haven't remeasured the toe-in yet but apparently my measurements were incorrect and the toe-In was ok since they didn't adjust it.
I have learned a lot from those that posted/replied and sincerely appreciate all the help I received. When I get new tires and wheels I will post the results but due to budgetary constraints that may be a few months. LOL Thanks again |

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
Try to find a friend having smaller wheels and install them on your cart; it would quickly and surely answer to all your questions in less than an hour and for free...

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
If it's still not driving properly, my bet is the toe in adjustment is still not correct whether they checked it or not. I drive a lifted RXV with 23" All Terrain tires every day and if the toe in is not 1/8" it would be all over the road.

Re: Lifted RXV Unstable
Wow! Thanks for those replies. Given your replies, I will adjust or have the Toe-In adjusted.
Many Thanks |
