Title: Tierod adjusting
Post by: Sweet Shock on May 19, 2010, 09:48:09 AM
I need to adjust my left tierod, Is it as simple as hitting it off and turning it a couple threads and will it need a wheel alignment or something. Thanking you     pete

Hi Pete....If you have a close look at the tierod you will see that at the end of it there is a big nut. And also  the steeting arm itself will have 2 flat sides on it which you can put a big spanner or shifter on. Once you loosen the big nut, just turn the steering arm until you get the setting you desire. Most wheel aligment shops can do this. ;D
