I just put +2+1 a-arms on my z and new tirods and when I turn the bars to the right it works fine but when i turn the bars to the left the left tire hits the a-arm before the stem hits the stop thing:confused: . But the right tire is fine turning right or left and the left tire will turn right fine.

Your left tire is has too much toe-out, which means the back of the tire is probably pointing inward. The front of the tire should be the side pointed in just a hair.

Yea they need to be aligned but their not that bad their the same on each side but when going to the right the right tire dont hit. They both point out a little but not bad enough to make the tire hit the arm before the stop in the frame/steering stem. Thats why im kinda puzzled at whats wrong. I thought of that but they bearly point out.

They just need to be aligned. Get the toe setup like it should, and it won't hit the arms...unless they weren't designed correctly:(

My banshee did the same thing but on both sides, it wore the stop down so i had to weld it.

I bent the tab on my banshee. There so cheap with that design. I had to weld a brace in.
