I just got my Full Flight +2 A arms in and was dialing them in. I have the camber and caster set. However, my wheels are toed out on both sides and I have ran out of adjustment on my tie rod ends. I am thinking my tie rods are to long.

Has anyone had this problem? I am thinking about chucking them up in the lathe and taking a little off the ends of both tie rods. Does anyone have a good measurement of any other aftermarket +2 tie rods?

yeah if theyre toed out than your rods too short.....if it was too long theyd be toed in


you are talking about what the wheels looks like from the front right?
/front\ = toe in
\front/ = toe out

Yeah, my tires are toed in and my tie rod ends are screwed all the way in. I just compared the oem tie rods to the Fullflight ones that are on it and they are well over a 1-1/2" longer.


I am gonna chuck the tie rods up and take about 3/8" off both ends. That away I can adjust my toe in / out and still have a little to play with.

Dude i hate to rain on your parade but FF a arms really arent good. After having huge fitment issues and than having my a arm hit the shock when in the air i sold mine for 50 bucks. I now have raths and have no issues whatso ever. I would recommend not using those at all. THe fitment issues I had were just the beginings of my problems. If you decide to keep them good luck.
