now that every things all back together lol. how much needs to come out to access inner tie rod nut?

if memory serves, air box and battery box but it has been over 10 years since i did my rx.

some one might be able to tell you how to get at it through the tie rod boot but i always did them the hard way.

well its at zero on toe on the money now. id like to toe it out a little although ive seen some posts where they set theres at zero. just want it to be safe at higher speeds. will be taking it to a huge lake end of month.

yea i toed out .5 in ...... cut the right boot and took the short cut ...... can fix later .... at spec now at least

I have run 0 toe for years, even at 141 mph across a lake in my turbo apex. They are a bugger to get to those lower ones.

What am I missing here? If you have it together, and just need an alignment, would you just detach the steering tie rod from the universal joint on the spindle side. Then loosen the jam nut, and turn the universal in or out depending on what adjustment is needed and tighten the jam nut. Alignment done.

Maybe I have been doing it wrong all these years. But there seems to be plenty of thread in that bolt eye on the spindle side to do a proper ski alignment.

Good luck,

Same thing I've done for years with no problems ever. Quick and easy

On my 06, I just wd40 the boots, slide them in as far as I can with the ski turned and the inner nut is right there. Not sure if later ones are like this. I check alignment during the season, always with some toe out and a good strong bungee holding the ski's together in front. Seems the curve skis are sensitive to toe.
