tie rod question

[2ndchance]

Ok guys heres the scoop, I got 2" drop spindles for my 98 frontier(on bags) I turned my tie rods in all the way in and the tires are still toed out! Is there anything I can do? Thanks.

You have to shorten the tierods and adjusters on the frontiers when using spindles. Its not too hard but still inconvenient.

Check this out, i bought my truck with drop spindles on it already. I seized a wheel bearing and destroyed mine. I couldn'y get my wheels to toe in all the way either. Then i bought a new set of Chassis Techs and when i put them on, my tires were toe'd wayyy in. it was rediculous. I don't what happened but i liked. Just my story don't if it helps at all.

do u need to cut the tie rod and the sleeve or the threaded rod on the steering?

I cut the sleeve and both the inner and outer tierods by the same length.

You don't necessarily need to cut the sleeve- it can get a little tricky because it's not a solid piece of metal. You usually do need to cut the tie rods though. they're too long with the Belltechs to align it properly;
this is what I did.
took about 2 hours start to finish (not including installing the spindles), but I work kind of slow.

How much did you cut off the tie rod ends. i was thinking maybe 1/2 to 3/4.

[hessianben]

I cut about 1/2". I didn't want to shave it too close. Seemed to work.

[Low F350]

I had to cut almost 3/4".
