I ordered the super Atv kit and installed it. Nothing rubbing or hitting anywhere but it seems to bind on its self on the lower joints. Raises mounting bracket up half to inch when turning. Any know what I’m talking about and can offer help ?

Before anyone says do a search I did and well it’s easier to ask and you all need more posts to respond to anyway. :)

It's super easy for the system to get a tiny bit lopsided one way or the other.
Forgot exactly how to fix it, but it was something like loosen up everything a little bit, make sure the control unit bracket is as far to the pass-side as you can get it, tighten that down.

Then like... do a couple back-an-forth's with the steering wheel so the linkages all kinda want to sit in the middle, and then tighten it up. I had the front end jacked up off the ground a bit to let it all settle a little easier.

That may or may not be how to do it, like I said I don't remember exactly, but I think it was something like that. I'm sure you'll get more responses tomorrow, with possibly more correct answers, lol.

It's standard on the P5. Such a small machine and tight tolerances, you're going to get some flex. Yrs ago when I installed mine I even called SATV to question what was going on and was told it was normal. I believe I loosened that bracket a little and turned the wheels full lock in both directions to observe the flex, found the middle of the road spot and cinched it down.

Thanks, will give that back try
