Default c hubs.

Probably a silly question, is there a specific side c hubs go on ? I.e. left and right only ? I've got asia tees c hubs . Had them a while and have recently got a new steering arm thing and for some reason I se to have loads of toe out !

C-hubs should not be left/right critical but they do have a top & bottom. Of the 2 "ears" the king pins screw into the long one goes to the bottom.
C-hubs should have absolutely no bearing on toe-in/toe-out though, that's all to do with the knuckle & it is quite possible different manufacturers could use different steering arms which would make your tie rod too long/short & effect the toe setting.

A pic is worth a thousand words, diagnosis would be easier if we could see it.

Ditto what altd896 said. It's more likely your new connecting rod is just too long. You should be able to just get some shorter rod ends but you might have to shorten the arm itself. For reference, eye-to-eye length on a stock steering link is about 198 mm.

Yeah, and post a photo, it's helps tremendously!

I'm doing this via phone and I can't post from it I don't think. For what it's worth I think mine may be upside down lol

If your c-hubs are upside down then your knuckles would have to be reversed as well or you'll have a serious camber issue. Assuming that is the case, you'd probably have a toe IN problem because the tops of the knuckles, sitting on the longer c-hub ear, would be too far apart. If you want, PM me for my info so you can email a photo.
