I just put the updated spindles on my 2020 Summit X and noticed the skis are toed out quite a bit ( more than with my stock spindles for sure).
but of course I didn't get measurements when my original spindles were on to compare, or for a baseline to adjust back to. Does someone have the correct measurements to reset the amount of toe out? Thanks to all in advance!

Put a straight bar along your track to ahead of your skis to see where to adjust

Also take 2 tie downs and attach to each handlebar and secure them back to the rear bumper. Measure from the handlebar hook to the bumper bolts and adjust so your bars are held rigid perfectly perpendicular to the tunnel. Now use the straight edge as Ken suggests and you will see which ski is out. Sucks to go for the first ride of the season and find your bars are not centered.

Thanks Chris. Handlebars straight is extremely important

put a bungee between ski tips too to take up slack in the ski bushings.

It made a difference in my ski alignment for sure. If you’re asking about a difference in riding performance, I haven’t had a chance to see yet. You’d have to get that answer from someone with a 2020 Freeride or Summit X with Expert
