The bottom line is that the tie rod must follow a similar arc to that of the control arms. The best way to illustrate that is to place the front of the quad on a jack stand and then remove the shocks. When you cycle the control arms up and down, the wheel should remain pointed straight ahead. It is possible that your tie rod ends might be better installed from the bottom, pointing up. If the best performance is found with the tie rod ends on top, be sure to use some red Loctite on the jam nuts to prevent them from ever loosening as you ride.

WOW, well said
I am constantly amazed at the level of expertise found on this site.
If we all put our heads together I think we could make a Mars adventure
course we might murder each other by the time we arrive.
