Gio Pocket Quad Queston - Please Help

KamloopsRider · 07-30-2009, 06:15 AM

Hello, I'm assembling my first pocket quad and the toes of the fron tires point in.........is this normal.........if so, please explain. Personally I think they should be pointing straight. Any info is appreciated.

They should be straight with maybe just a slight toe in.

Are the tie rods adjustable?

Generally you would want a slight toe in. If the wheels were straight you would actually have the front end wonder around.

Thanks for the info Cal25 and katoranger. There is just a slight toe in overall so it sounds like it'll be fine. The tie rods are adjustalbe but now that I know that a slight toe in is fine I'll just leave them alone.

As I'm new to this, do either of you know what the steering will feel like if they are actually too toed in? That way I'll know what to look for on my first ride and then adjust if needed. Have a great day. Love the site.

Don't know what too toed in is like, but I can recommend 1/8" to 1/4" of toe. That'll make for a decent stable ride.
