tie rods rubbing

[honda_racer_713]

just installed plus 2 a-arms and new tie rods on a 300ex and when i turn the handlebars to the end the tie rods rub against the top a-arms. Any suggestions on how to stop this?:confused:

ok well the end that hooks on the spindal. Did you put it in from the bottom??? it goes in from the bottom and the nut goes on top.

yeah I just checked on my buddies 300 and your right. Sorry about that. does it rub bad? and when does it do it? is it just when the suspension is fully stretch out or when you site on it.

If it's not to bad I wouldn't worry about it

the only time it does it is when the suspension is stretched out a little and the handlebars are turned as far as they can go. it doesnt rub bad but its wearing the paint off of the a-arms on both sides. Thanks for your help
