I put the p/s slide in the center and ran my tie rods all the way in and started backing them out 1 turn at a time till I got the smae measurementfrom the front and back side of the rotor

 

so i assume the p.s slide centered should also make the steering wheel be centered as well?

 

I got tired of my wheel being off and the machine turning better to one side so this last weekend I started the entire thing off from scratch. I disconnected the tie rods at the wheel end and I used lock to lock to determine the center of the steering travel then I pulled the wheel and centered it. Then I got out my 10 foot pvc board from Lowes and set it on car ramps turned sideways beside the machine measured at 8" off the outer frame rail and aligned the front tires to the frame then gave each side 1/4" toe out. Then I attached the tie rods to the hubs.

The alignment is dead on the steering is dead center and it tracks and handles better than new, which was never quite right. It was well worth the effort.

 

What is lock to lock

 

see about getting your local alignment shop to line it up....I bet the techs would get a kick out of that.

 

turn the wheel as far as it will go each way=lock to lock

 

ok thanks and one more thing what is gained by having a little toe out? is it needed or just personal preferance?

 

off road cars tend to track better with a little toe out... manual says 1/4"

 

ok thanks for the info :You_Rock_Emoticon:

 

When I did mine with the p/s slide centered it also had my steering wheel centered. And it also worked for a friend of mine that also had tie rods put on.

 

I still remember and i I put the p/s glide in the middle and ran my tie supports all the way in and began support them out 1 convert at a time until I got the same measurement from the top side and rear side of the blades.
