2016 MTX tie rod hitting A arm?

[loudelectronics]

I installed the 2016 a arms on my 14 viper for the 36" stance. The left side tie rod hits the lower a arm under full turn. Anyone with a 2016 seeing the same thing?

did you get the shocks shortened? i tried the 38'' shocks and all was good until i made a full turn with the skis off the ground

 

[loudelectronics]

Yup I am using the shortened shocks. Never tried the longer ones from my 38" kit. But yes full turn with skis off the ground they hit. Even at rest the left side is close. The right side is not really an issue. I think there is a casting mistake on the left spindle and mounted lower than right. Not 100% though.

could it be that something on that side of the sled is bent or tweaked? my 2015 with 36'' kit is not even close to touching without the skis off the ground.

Everything looks straight an nothing out of place. Skis are even.

you need to shorten your shocks again
I tried to put my kit on with 38" kit shocks and the left side hits the bottom a-arm

 

[loudelectronics]

I have the shortened shocks though already so I did not need to shorten my shocks I had on the 38" kit. My longer shocks are removed and the proper ones are installed. The shocks I have running are off a 2016 viper mtx le. So everything should be the same.

Can check on my 2016 Mtx during this weekend.

I is nothing severe, just enough to scrape the paint.

is that with the front end off the ground?

 

[loudelectronics]

Yes it is Yukon. I just went out to the trailer to check. Full turn left on left side while I hold sled in the air it touches ever so slightly. Once I let go of the sled and let it sit on the ground there I no touching.
