Kraton Front wheels alignment

[Wael]

Any Idea why the front right wheel doesn't look aligned/straight?

 

[Ole Fart51]

Adjust your right turnbuckle. Or turnbuckle may be bent

 

[smithgpz]

check for bent hinge pin or turnbuckle,

Could also be a pillow ball coming loose. Best bet here is to take off the wheel and see what is out of place. That'll be a pretty easy search as there is not much going on over there. My guess is the turnbuckle that handles you steering is bent or the end of it is broken.

I searched a lot and can't figure it out, i may try to replace the turnbuckles

If it aint broken just adjust the turnbuckle so you get a comfortable angle....or?

I had the same issue with mine. One of the turn buckles is not in equal length to the other. If I tried to align one of the tires straight with the rear, the other front tire would be crooked. I just extended both turnbuckles so there would be equal steering.

Are those longer turnbuckles than the original ones on the kraton? I am having the same issue with my kraton I have almost unscrewed my turnbuckles all the way out on both sides. But I can't seem to get them perfectly aligned, perpendicular to the truck.

Gentlemen, let's get some close up pictures of both sides, of the front end, from a couple angles and from the top. Something is not right, and someone is going to be able to spot it for you if we could see it.

Does anyone have a how to adjust turnbuckle on 2018 Arrma Kraton video

 

[Brandon]

I agree with dpricenator. Load up some Picts so we can take a look see.

Thanks guys for your responses! I believe it may be camper adjustments needed. Correct me if I’m wrong. Thanks in advance!

So The front wheels are adjusted using a small box wrench, or crescent wrench. There are also specialty tools or turnbuckle wrenches that can be purchased that are even better. I do forget the size, but I love mine. Anyway, one end of the turn buckle is reverse threaded, so do not detach either end from the car. As you spin the turn buckle, it will either screw into both ends or unscrew from both ends. The tire on the left, needs to be unscrewed, until the read end of the tire pushes out, which in turn pushes the front of the tire in toward the center. 1 -2* Toe in on the front is good. Then do the same on the right hand side.

The rear end, has more toe in than I would expect, That looks like 5*+, but I do not think it's too far. It'll help in the corners for sure. But may act odd in reverse. I hope that helps someone.

I replaced the tie rod today and had the same issue. I had unscrew the tie rod two turns to get it better aligned. Then put it on the ground and turned it on, and it seems back to normal.

screw that pivot ball back into the A arm. It’s that simple. Instructions are in the manual.
