    ok need some help

    The front toe on my 89 M3 is too far out, everything is brand new and the tie rods are screwed all the way in and the toe on the passenger side is still pretty far out and the drivers side is pretty close but also out a little. Any ideas on what I can do????

    Yes. What you do is adjust the tie rod ends on both sides until you have proper toe alignment. This has to be done on alignment machine.

        Guys, he said the tie rod ends are screwed all the way in and he still has toe out. Something is obviously wrong.

        I'd guess you have the wrong tie rods. See if you can find a part number on them and check them on RealOEM.com.

          This. Or maybe your strut/spindle assembly is bent. If all else fails you could always just cut a bit off the ends of the tie rods.

            Checked the end on realoem and they were correct, I know nothing is bent as everything was straight when I took the car apart for the restoration. I will trim down a bit off the end and see if the helps. Thanks
