Default 09 g29 tie rod problem...??? A arm???

If I turn my wheels to the right to make a descent sharp turn my right wheel locks out. It has to do with the tie rod end I think. It hyperextends, if you will. Its like instead of the rod stopping to keep this from happening the wheel will just turn way out. I have to go around and push the tire back in. The cart has a madjax A arm lift kit. I should probably take a picture of it when it happens again. It can be recreated very easily. I didn't know if there was an adjustment to keep this from happening or what I need to do about it. 1- it is annoying but mostly I am afraid of this happening when the cart is moving faster than just backing in or out of the garage.

Any Ideas???
And thanks. I haven't found anything like this on here anywhere. If it is you can just tell me how to search it. Thanks again....

Rhox does the same BS.... Put one on a Drive, hated it, took it back off. You wont like my idea of a solution (send that @$&% back, then buy a kit from the only place Yamaha gets theirs from, Hint: starts with a "J" ends with a "akes")

Lol.... well, it was on it when i bought it. I am just getting into this but i thought that was a descent brand. If this is a standard though, then that does suck... I would like to figure out a way to adjust it or something.

the right side tied rod end appears to be out all the way but it wont adjust any. In or out. The bar moves maybe a half a turn then locks up. I am afraid to force it much. The left side was all the way in. I adjusted it some. Instead of going with a straight steering wheel or with the driver side tire I got the right side tire straight and adjusted the left side to the right. I think that may have helped a little but the toe is still out. The front and rear difference is more like an inch instead of 1/8"-1/4". It looks like the steering box sits higher on the right side which puts that joint at more of an angle than the driver side.

I had no luck "adjusting it out". Lift kit sits in a box, useless.

Can anyone tell me if the steering box in a yamaha drive sits a little uneven? Maybe a little higher on the passenger side than the drive side?
