Super ATV trailing arm toe in.

So I installed some Super ATV trailing arms a few weeks back and Super ATV high clearance radius rods. After getting everything bolted up and setting back down on the ground the rear tires were dramatically toed in. The center line of the driver side tire lines up with bottom of the door and the passenger tire was even worse. I've searched high and low for any rear toe specs and have come across squat. I decided to drive down the block just to test the feel and drove across a snow packed section of road only doing about 15 mph and it spun the vehicle around instantly. I had a trail ride planed the next day so I built a quick temporary shim for the passenger side to at least get the toe in even. With the shim installed the toe in on the rear tires in still over 1.5"! Before the shim I'll bet it was 3". Has anyone encountered this same problem with their after market trailing arms?

Is it the trailing arms or the radius rods that are out of whack? When I put their radius rods I used the measurements they gave had the rear wheels way out of whack. I measured the stock ones and put the SATV rods to those and it straightened it out.

I actually ran into this with my xp, I put super atv radius rods on mine same length as stock and the rear alignment was way out of wack camber and toe issues super atv is a good company to deal with they gave me store credit back on the rods but I had to put my stock ones back on a lot of other issues with them also fitment issues and I think the length of the rods are not correct to make them better would put the heim joint at risk to many threads showing would make them to weak just my two cents

I put Lone Star Racing rear lower high clearance radius rods on the back of my 900 and it has a lot of negative camber. If it weren't for my red neck people would think I was Asian at first glance driving this thing. Even at their shortest adjustment I couldn't get away from the negative camber.

I wouldn't assume this was normal but I'm not sure if they sent me the wrong part or what. I order stock width replacement rods. I order some uppers so hopefully I can get it adjusted correctly. On the upside will cut donuts on pavement on command now which is fun!!

I had the same issue when lifting both my 900xp. I went to the local auto parts and bought pinion shims for leaf spring rear end split them in half clamped them to bearing housing traced it out then cut it out half on top half on bottom 2* shims fixed both of them

Same thing on my buddy's 1k we moved the front mount on trailing arms to fix it.
