steering problems

[alex1234]

i recently purchased a buggy locally which i dont know alot about.

i had it out today, the wheels just want to turn too the right.

One of the wheels turns right but the other turns alot further right which isnt right, the steering is hard to keep control of as the wheels go to the right position and it is hard to keep it straight

its been made with handle bars not a steering wheel,

i have a photo of my buggy which is below, and i will take a photo of the position that the wheels go too, hope someone can help

Looks like the right hand tie rod is bent all to h*ll, that would do it,

oh thats right, it was straightened but still keeps doin this problem also ive put suspension too the front now, the rods are flimsy but even when goin full lock its all over the place

Have you actually set the toe since you straightened the tie rod? Looks like there should be some shocks on the front....

You might have a ackerman problem and when you use the suspension, you have real bad bump steer. Remove the steel tubing and cycle the suspension and see how much toe out you get when the suspension goes up and down.

here is a couple of photos of the way it goes they aint very good but its all i could get at the moment as its in the back of my garage,

Looks to me like the caster is backwards. The tires should NOT lay over like that when you turn. Kinda hard to tell from the pics, but I think you might wanna try swapping the lower a-arms from side to side then set the toe.
