Toe out mystery
Ferg - 13/10/07 at 05:59 PM

I wonder if someone might do me a favour. The wheels on our Velocity XT toe out even when the rack, adapters and track rod ends are would tightly together. I'm not sure the ride height is quite correct, but I think that may just make it worse. Can anyone measure the distance between their track rod ends for me? Centre of nut to centre of nut.

You are using an Escort rack, not a Sierra one.?

Er...

I assume so. It was Luego supplied. It's 1015mm long threaded end to threaded end.

Hi

You should have an Escort rack, I had to cut the adaptors down by about 10mm to get mine to toe in.

I think I removed 5mm from both ends of the adaptor.

Ah.

I can understand taking some off the female end, but the other end threads into the trackrod end so how would that help? Did you have the lock-nut between the trackrod end and the adaptor??? Or Loctite?????
