I decided to put all the pieces of the car together as I was at the halfway stage and wanted to take some pics. So I bolted on the front wheels properly and noticed that there is a slight toe out, the wheels both point out slightly. Now I Have checked and double checked and everything is installed correctly. As there is no adjustment and everything is glued now there doesn't appear to be much i can do about it.its not miles out but does notice if you look at it properly. Was just wandering if anyone else has had this issue? Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Hi Steve  I've not personally had this problem and it can only possibly be that the track rod brackets on the ends of your steering slider need to be up against the stoppers as shown in the pictures below and as shown in stage 27 of pack 8. Regards Spencer Warthog attached the following image(s):

Hi Spencer. I have tried to get the best picture of the slider and brackets and they are on as far as they will go.the brackets are butted up to the shoulders on the slider.  Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

Would it be possible to remove the brackets to maybe modify it at all to make it fit right? Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029

To be honest Steve I would'nt attempt it. Having seen your other pictures in your build diary and can see that the tyres do "Toe Out" but not by much and this is also an effect of the camera shot from above but saying that, it is possible your getting slight Toe Out. Also remember that the real car will have the wheels set to either "Toe in" or "Toe Out" to aid in road handling and cornering so unless it looks like yours has hit a barrier then I would'nt worry about it.

There is no adjustment to the steering linkage, but there is plenty of movement in the steering arm to steering rack , I do not have a toe out condition on my finished model-- even if it did, there's enough beautiful details to look at when complete and it will not be noticeable.

Ok I'll leave it then. Like you said it's not much and you probably wouldn't notice it on a shelf in a display case. Would still be interested to know if anyone else on here comes across this though. Senna mclaren mp4/4 build complete mp4/4 build http://forum.model-space...spx?g=posts&t=12029
