quad4me Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 I bent the knuckle side Tie Rod End (wheel end) sometime recently, and now the alignment is not 100% correct. Anyone suggest the TUSK Tie Rod Ends, or wha brand? And are the BEEFIER looking aftermarket TR ends for the Knuckle end or steering shaft end? So far I have looked at Rocky Mountain ATV Quote
Leadfoot350 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Boonman had some done by mcmaster carr. I am going to get some done soon and I now have a friend that works there high up so maybe he can swing some deals. Quote
locogato11283 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 i run the tusk tie rod ends on both of my banshees. they are built alot better than stock for less than half the price. i have had no problems with them what so ever. id def recommend them to anyone needing replacements..also you can help your tie rod ends by having some longer tie rods made. stock ones are so short they barely catch any thread on the tie rod ends. since i got my tusk ends and my longer tie rods i havent bent anything..

quad4me Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Posted February 7, 2005 LOCO! what is YOUR method of setting alignment? My Clymers manual seems like a strange way to do it. I cannot even measure where they tell me to.....can you give me a quick rundown on your method and what you set it to???? Thanks Quote

Thanks 318720[/snapback] well i use a very technical way of aligning my front end. i loosen the tie rod ends, walk to the back of the quad and look, adjust, then look again and so on and so forth until i like it. it may not be very perfect or whatever but i dont have any problems. my shit drives straight on the road and i dont have to spend much time on it. it helps if you have someone there with a good eye to just watch while you turn the tie rods.

quad4me Posted February 7, 2005 Author Report Posted February 7, 2005 (edited) I guess though...in the FRONT of wheel you want it 0-10mm "narrower" than the REAR of the front wheels. If you guys follow what I mean. Does this sound about right? Then the camber is set by your A Arms right? Or can a slightly bent Tie rod end change that a little too....? Thanks all!
