416-8 Tie Rod adjustment

Recommended Posts

Is there a way to adjust the tie rods? I had a loose ball joint and after I tightened it up the left wheel is toe out now. Any suggestions? one of the spindles was broken a few years ago and was re-welded. This is probably the issue.

Depending on how far off the toe is. What I have done in the past is to tweek the arm on the spindle with a crescent wrench thus moving the tie rod ball in relation to the spindle. Hope this makes a little sense. :omg: , Mike

Just bought a 414-8 a few months ago. Had the same problem with spindle. Bought two new ones from the dealer, not priced that bad. A lot easier than trying to straighten the spindle and wondering if it's close to spec.
