i have just had to replace both tie bars as the old ones were both bent out of all normal shape!

my g/f has bought me some H/D ones and i am after some help setting them up.

also, i have Yoko A038s on the front and brand new A539s on the back, would this cause some nasty handling? like it feels like the back end isnt connected to the front.

Also, one of my front wheels looks to stick just outside the arch, an looks pretty good where it is... but the other side is very much inside the arch, even with a 5mm spacer it still looks very odd.

i have the tie cars set at 17 spins of the locking nut... just so the front wheels dont rub the front of the wings! is this normal? could there be something else bent somewhere causing this?

Any help will be most helpful

could be that the car was aligned with bent rods, meaning that your tracking now needs sorting.

Down to the alignment place for you sir! ;D

yer thats a good point... a very good point in fact!

any other views on this.... mainly the wheels seeming to be well in the arch one side, and just poking out the other.
