I have +3 Premium Burgard a-arms and either my tierods are to short or I must have the a-arms on wrong... because both of the wheels are pointing outward and I can't go out anymore on my tierods:confused: Here's some pics...

Maybe my top ones are on wrong? The shock mount on the bottom shocks are more towards the front then the back and I think that's right?

The top A-arm looks kind of close to the shock. Maybe switch them around.

with all the problems Burgard has getting stuff out on time, maybe you accidentally got +2 tie rods instead of +3

Can anyone with +3 tierods measure there's? Just in case... but I'll pull the top arms off later and swap them and see what that does:)

I flipped my top a-arms around and there even worse then the ones pictured above:ermm: So my tierods must be to short. Can any one measure there rods, it doesn't matter what length they are, since mine a +3 I can add the difference... just measure where the threads start, so you wont have to take them off;) If I turn my bars all the way to the side my tires are straight, but if my bars are straight then the tires are to the side:scary:

Stock width of tie rods from thread to thread is 9 inches.

Thanks for the help! I measured mine thread to thread and there 12 inches, which is a 3 inch difference... so now I'm really confused:mad: Could my bottom ones be backwards? Because on stock a-arms the shock brackets are more towards the front, so that's how I put them on.

I think I had the same problem as you, I accidentally put my ball joints on upside down, make sure there right side up by looking at a picture or something, but when I put my arms on, my tires pointed in really bad.

Edit: My bad I didnt see the outward. I have no Idea

the shock mounts should probably me towards the back cause your a arms are most likely +3 +1 so they would be 1 inch forward from what the stock ones are, so try switching the bottom a arms

I don't think there +1 forward, because I had +2+1 before and these a-arms don't seem as forward as my last ones. And looking at pictures of my last set of a-arms, the brackest where still alittle more towards the front:confused: So I dunno, I'll give it a shot though:)

This is really starting to p*ss me off:mad: I tried switching the bottom a-arms around and the shock bracket is so far back, there is know way the shock will fit in there. But when I did that, the wheels where actually straight:rolleyes: But unless I want to ride with my shocks looking like a horse shoe, it's not going to work. For +3+1 a-arms, would the tierods be any longer than just regular +3 a-arms? The only thing I can think of, is maybe they sent me +3+1 bottom a-arms and +3+0 upper a-arms and tierods. Ahh:o
