    tie rods and track rods too long

    just installed all the bits for my widetrack. but when i gone to connect the tack rods to the hubs they are to long and when fullly wound in the still give about 10 degrees of toe in.

    are these the right type of track rod end?


    it has 55mm of thread depth which is the same as tie rods they just seem to long all together.

    It's the inner arms that give the extra length, not the ends, maybe your inner arms are too long?

    Those look way longer than mine, can get some measurements over the weekend if no one else had replied by then.

    which inner arms are you using? williams or valver?
