Tie Rod Adjustment
To adjust, loosen the jam nuts and twist the tie rod between your fingers to adjust the
length.
Make sure the rod ends are parallel when tightening the jam nuts. Flats are provided on
the tie rod to fit an 11mm wrench.
The conical spacer included on the tie rod assembly goes between the tie rod end and
mounting plate on the spindle as shown for the model. The tie rod fits under the
mainframe and between the two chain tubes. Bolt each rod end bearing to its spindle
assembly, placing the ball of the rod-end bearing on top of the spindle plate. The bolt
goes in from the top, and the nut goes on underneath the plate. Tighten everything
snugly.
The tie rod bolts should be kept tightened securely. If they
get loose, the steering will get will get sloppy and the
wheels may shimmy under certain circumstances. If the bolts fall out, loss of control
could result. Check them from time to time.
