go-cart gettin so close i can taste it, like a cold beer

[BigLeo69]

got all my fluids in yesterday: brakes ,clutch, rear-end,some new anti-freeze and distilled water for my 372w stroker, beer in belly, need to go over the front end and get the alignment close then lube up the chassis, i hate to dog down my tie-rod ends till i have a final alignment(<any thoughts on that>)
re-secure the fuel line at gas-tank, tweek my steering flange it seems to be loose on the outer race both are moving when i turn the steering.

some finish screws into my leather dash, throw my 15" rubbers on, and fire my stroker up i have missed the sound since december '10 when i had engine start-up.

may run down the street for my first run with open headers, an eye opener for some neighbors:cool:

Do you mean the tie rod end to spindle? If you are going to drive it, I would definitely tighten them up.
It's really not a big deal to loosen the inner tie rods and spin them for final alignment adjustments. If you have it close now, you shouldn't need to actually turn (spin) the outer rod ends.

:

You dont turn the tie rod ends to align the toe-in, you just loosen the rubber boot and turn the tie-rod. Go ahead and tighten them down.
