Wtf !? What am I missing ?!

[Gazmitchell]

So new subframe done bushes in up and bolted up. Wishbones on , new lemforder rear tie rods are too long fully wound back ? What the ? ! I measured them against ones I removed to get approx length right and had to wind em fully back and still makes rear wheels toe in any ideas ? I didn't remove driveshafts and hubs either . Just rear struts and subframe overhaul.

Have the ball joints slid in on the wishbones?

I take it they are the correct tie rods?

[Gazmitchell]

Andy , no they hadn't moved and bought the rods off the chap on here . Even undid the ball joint to get max movement outwards ... I measured new ones against rusty old ones to get correct height so well strange .?

[andy10v]

Is it the same subframe with new bushes or a refurbished subframe?

If it is another subframe it could be from a another quattro car with different length tie rods and slightly different tie rod mount location on the subframe.

Wishbones back on the same sides they came off?

[Gazmitchell]

It is a diff subframe yes, a 3b with no arb brackets , I removed my ones from old subframe and re welded , but I thought the tie rod mounts were in same place .? I re welded arb brackets over tie rod mounts .. Have I answered my own question !!?

[Mikes2]

Different track rods are used on cars with no rear anti roll bar because the brackets are in different places

[Gazmitchell]

Ah . Shyte dam and darn ! and I was going so well !!

The 3B subframe has arb brackets, so your replacement isn't from a 3B. Probably from a UR??

Or early 10v B3 car

[Pauliusb2]

you should put your subframe on your old one and see how far out is your brackets on original subframe.

[Error404]

Swap the tie rod for the early type

[Pauliusb2]

I think he needs early type tie rods or reweld location...

[Gazmitchell]

Cheers for the help all. Looks like I've a brand new set of lemforder for sale then with a nice fresh coat of POR15

Where can I get early ones - are they the longer body smaller arched ones .?

The subframe is a B3 as said. Just checked.
