Michael Jackson Posted November 3, 2007 Report Share Posted November 3, 2007 if your tie rods are almost 2 inches longer than mine, and we both have +2 arms, i would guess the tie rods are the wrong ones... ask some more guys for mesurments, but 2 inches longer on each one is alot... by the way, you staten island bitches dont know anything about a good strombolli!! if you ever want some real pizza/strombolli come to jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ thanks for all your help.. hey wacko, i was installing my wicked arms yesterday and ran into the same problem, i measured my new ones and they are 14 inches and my stock ones are 10 7/8 so i think we ended up with + 3 tierods, cause at the most they should have only been 2 inches longer putting them at 13 inches, if i had a 1/4 inch shorter on both sides i could have gotten them straight i think. hopefully wicked will send me some new ones without me sending these back first, that way i can cut these and 'ride" if they work. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dragbanshee Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 hey man thanks... Really sucks though right? I hope you get everything worked out.. good luck.. dont knowif you got fixed yet or not, but i talked to the guy i got mine from and he said to screw your balljoints out 2-3 turns on each side or cut the tierods, i wouldnt go any more than 4 turns out, but thats up to you, depends on how long the threads are. "a arm balljoints" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"a arm balljoints" Thanks man. Well cutting them would be my last resort, I wouldnt want to mess them up, they where expensive, But i got it worked out today, I spoke to the tech for the company and he will be shipping me a new set tom.. Like what was thought, they where to long.. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 glad to hear you got that mix up fixed wacko and yea, cutting is never the way to solve things, you shouldnt have to cut a product you just payed hundreds of dollars for thats suposed to be custom made for your machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko2000 Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Your right MJ.. cutting it wouldnt of been the best idea, It wasnt that critical for me bc I dont even have my motor back yet.... thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTS355 Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 shit like this is hard for me to explain by typing, I have an extra stem that Im going to swap tomorrow and see what happens, but when i bought my a-arms I upgraded to to pro heavy duty tie rods and Im almost positive they sent me the wrong ones. I did alot of research here and from what i gathered on +2 a-arms your tie-rods should be between 13- 13 1/2. Mine are 14 3/4.. thats a big difference, thats why It is so toe in.. Im hoping that is the problem.. I called ASR today and they will not be in until monday..... How have you liked dealing with ASR. I just purchased +2+1 arms today. I spoke to Mike and he seems to be very knowledgeable. Have they taken care of you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wacko2000 Posted November 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 How have you liked dealing with ASR. I just purchased +2+1 arms today. I spoke to Mike and he seems to be very knowledgeable. Have they taken care of you? I havent had a prob with them yet... Mike is a real nice guy, any prob you have he will take care of.. First when I spoke to him he made me go through my box and make sure I had everything that i was going to need.. I needed new dust caps and some other stuff, and het got it shipped right out, then there was alittle mix up with the tie-rods that they sent me and he took care of that prob as well.... When you start your install or setup, if you have any problems you can call him and he will walk or talk you through it.... which a-arms did you order?
