Tie Rod Adjustment

[Dave400ex]

I just put on my new Arens steering stem and my tires are still not straight. The insides of both tires are in more then the fronts so when I turn the bars all the way they are hitting the a-arms. Both sides are doing it so the tie rods must not be bent and they look ok. What do I have to do to adjust them so the tires are straight on both sides and don't hit the arms?

you got it adjust your tierods..

Depending on what kind of frame and/or a-arms you have, your outer tie rod ends may hit your arms before the steering stops hit. Mine have always done that. It never does any more harm than a nick in your paint, and I'd rather have the tighter turning radius than to worry about it.

I'm just going to mess with my Tie Rods and see if I can get the tires straight. I'm not worried so much about it hitting the arms, but when my stem is straight both tires are pointing out, and I don't want that. I should be able to straighten them up, and then they shouldn't hit the arms...
