Front End Adjustment

[bayman]

my left front wheel seems to angle out a bit when looking
from front, head on, can this be pulled in with a tie-rod
adjustment, nothing seems bent or out of whack!!
thanks

Yeah loosen both jam nuts on your tie rod and give her a spin. Straighten her out and give your front end about 1/8 inch toe in.

thanks, thought that was it!!!!

Don't be afraid to get out a tape measure and set the toe-in correctly. Anybody who just eyeballs it and calls it good, should take a little more pride in their work and do it right.

I believe LSR has tech info on their site showing how to set toe-in.

I do more than just a toe on all my bikes. I use a straight edge like a broom handle that is long enough to lay flat against the rear tire and will extend forward to the front tires. measuring the distance from the straight edge to the outside of the front tires and make sure both that the toe is perfect and the "thrust angle" is perfect as well. when you do this, the bike will steer like it has power steering.

my tip:
use weights and etc to check the toe-in over the full suspension travel... how often is your quad suspension like it is with no one on it??? :)

just put new front wheel bearings in, so ill adjust now!!!
