the way the arms are made the bearing housing is welded to a front plate what is not weleded to the arm till you get your tire set how you want then you weld it up solid

Am I missing something? I do not see any lean.. If you crank up your torsion you will get a little lean when you are topped out.

personaly i like the left side look. but it all depends on your angle, cv degree, and what you decide is end result :wink: listen to the force jesse :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

haha the angle on the cv is not bad no matter what way i just always thought you wanted a little lean out so when the buggy compresses down when climbing they actually end up more flat to the ground i could be all kinds of wrong would not be the first time :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

The lean on the right tire looks good from what as I can tell at least it don't lean like a swing axle lol and yes when your arm travels up your tires will level out that's what u want . If u have stock mouting locations that is looks good to me . Nice buggy. Another way u can adjust lean is to loosen the bolts where trailing arm meets spring plate and take a couple bolts out that will toe the tires in or out then re tighten bolts when satisfied if u can't get what u want weld all the holes shut on trailing arm but one put bolt in and set camber then redrill the rest of the bolt holes . Done this a couple of times . Nick
