![]() Jon, I was sitting there eating my breakfast thinking about what you said about getting both tie rod end equal in length, I wanted to hit myself in the head with a hammer. I consider myself fairly mechanicaly gifted but I can't believe that I couldn't see the that those tie rods were not equal. I'm such a butt head.
![]() I did have the wheels on the ground but I need to take the tie rods off and equal them out. Thanks and I will let you know how it come out. Jimbo |

![]() Bigred...
If you want to make it easier to adjust the tie rods, here is a little trick I used when I was fielding race cars. Take two pieces of card board, approx 12" square and put some good ol' grease inbetween them, work them around in a circle a couple of times to spread out the grease. Then put this under your tire (one set up for each side). This will allow the tires to turn freely and not try to scrub on the floor when turning the tie rod centers. Also if you tie your steering wheel in the centered and straight position prior to adjusting you'l have better results in not having that irratating crocked steering wheel. I have also used a piece of sheet metal placed up next to each wheel to measure the outside of the tire from side to side. measure in front of the tire and behind the tire and keep adjusting until you get the setting until you want/need. Using the two pieces of sheet metal may require you to get some help holding and measuring. Hope this helps. |

![]() Rodger, thanks for the tips. I finally got the front end aligned after a bit of work. I did use two staight edges and bungi corded them to the outside of the tires and then went to work getting the front end straight. That work out great and the cart tracks straight down the road.
