robin craig Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Sadly last year our Supacat MK2A was involved in a minor accident. A guest who was not taking instruction very well hit a tree with the front left wheel. No other part of the machine made any contact but the vehicle did come to an abrupt stop. Inspection has revealed that the tie rod on the wheel in question was bent and has been replaced. We now want to set the alignment up properly. Our thought process on how to do this is as follows:- Jack and block the vehicle. Remove all wheels Using the unaffected right side set set the steering straight and then using a string line or steel straight edge over the wheel flange faces check that all 3 surafces are in line. Lock the steering in that position using the collar for track set usage. Then perform same check on left side and adjust tie rods as per right to achieve same result and ensure both sides are parralel. Can anyone comment from doing this or from appreciation of the process inetended on any flaws to this plan of action? R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
