Don't you mean the tie rods are threaded all the way into the tie rod ends? Post a couple pics. How much is the toe-in?

Might seem silly, but do you have the a-arms on the wrong sides?

Yup, showed up just perfect. Thanks!

I actually put some arms on the wrong side, just to see one afternoon, and that was the exact problem. Just an idea.

The only other thing I can think of is the tie-rods are incorrect.
Seems like a strange problem.

Lonestar says the toe in needs to be ΒΌ". As far as your toe in being to much you may need shorter tie rods

yeah it is strange!!! I have no camber either actually its a little positive!! :( I dont understand

I was thinking the tie rods were the problem as well but the lobo is +3 and the tie rods are + 3 from roll design. I actually had them send the tie rods when they sent me the arms.

If you bought these parts from someone, it could be possible that the tie rod length is incorrect...

And you should know that +3 from one company is not always +3 from another company :blah: Check into this!

I understand what your saying but I had roll design send me these tie rods when they sent back the a-arms. Do you think the adjustable shock mount could have something to do with it? Havinnoj check your pm

Does toe change throughout wheel travel? The towers may be causing issues - are the shocks spec'd correctly (e2e) for the arms?

I don't know if the toe changes with wheel travel but I know the shocks are good. I just got them back from custom axis and I talked with Steve at Custom axis about them as they were getting done.

The toe should change slightly through the wheel travel, but you should deff be able to adjust to toe in or even toe out if you so chose.
