If you have the BAC steering link then the stock length on the tierods will be too long. I think, if you have the BAC link, you'll need to shorten the tierods by just a little over 2 mm to get back to stock. If you are dealing with an LST2, or others with the upgrade kit, the C-hubs can be installed on the wrong side of the truck causing problems. Again, I think there are arrows on the hubs(carriers) that should point forward when installed correctly. At any rate, if these are not the problems you can adjust the tierods to give whatever amount of toe in/out you want. The LST2 and others with the kit will not have a tierod on the rear. Hope this helps.

Well, not knowing if you have a Muggy, LST or LST2, you want 3 degrees of toe in for the rear and a degree or two of toe out in the front. As mentioned, the LST2 rear is not adjustable, but you can get the carriers on wrong. Having a slight amount of toe out in front makes the steering much more responsive in the first half of a turn. Having the toe in for the back end helps keep the truck going in a straight line.
