So I bought deans 2x3 arms off graden and the one arm leans the wrong way, its really annoying me, SO what should i do to fix it? cut it somewhere and tilt/lean it in the right direction obvously but any good ideas as to where i should do it, then plate it of course.

i have heard alot of people say that those arms are hit or miss on how they are made , i would imagine if you could cut the welds for the bearing housing to be able to remove it you could ck with sawyer and see if he could run them through his jig to correct the camber . it would be alot of grinding but could be done !
is the wheel at negetive camber ?

yea the top of the tire leans inward, It almost seems like when he built the arms, he built them both identical on the same jig, which would make one of them end up being upside down when flipped ot the other side, making it have the wrong camber..I got it cranked up to the correct degree on the axle with it the adjustable limit straps i made, and the buggy sits real funny lol DETRIOT LEAN! haha wat up dawg :mrgreen: :mrgreen: so idk..ima see how bad it is after i get it all together. i got the motor back on today gonna get everything hooked up tomorrow hopefully.
