  • / Ariens Ikon X Steering Rod dsiconnect fro tie rod
Good day. Just purchased the Arien Ikon X 52 and found that the steering rod on the left side was not connected to the tie rod at the rear. After removing the tire and some other parts for access, I was able to screw the tie rod onto the steering rod about 5 threads depth. My issue now is that the left steering arm runs about 1.25 inches behind the right arm. I am new to ZT style mowers with lever steering. I can not find any reference for this issue other than the limiting stop screws adjustment to control tracking for full extension of steering arms.

Bought at Home Depot and Arien's support just told me to take is back.

If the steering is wrong both forward and backwards then you can lengthen or shorten the rod you connected to the hydro to make up the difference. It is threaded at both ends.
