There is no adjustment for camber, just toe. Dosen't look TOO bad, no worse than the buggy in front of you. I wouldn't try bending the arms, might end up doing more harm than good. |

I thought I read before that there is a right and left. I would check to see if they are marked L or R. The marked arms must have some built in camber correction. When the torsion is cranked pretty tight they seem to get the camber change like yours. |

Those appletree tree arms should already have a shock moumt on top of them. If so,it would be hard to get them switched around. Could be a bent torsion or someone converted it from a swing axle and didn't weld the pockets right. JMO |

its real easy to cut the bearing housings out jus use a torch and and a grinder to clean them up,ive never bought a new set always used old ones,they never go bad,at least ive never seen a bad one |

well... i switched the trailing arms. and good news. they still have a slight camber but im pretty sure that its from having the spring plates notched out and the torsion turned up. but a lot better than before. they have a thicker flange on one side of the trailing arm so i thought that was for the shock mounts but they must be some type of guard or something. not to sure but i appreciate everyones help, now i dont have to buy new tires every 2 seasons. also when i pulled the tires off i didn't have a problem with the buggy on jack stands but when i put em back on i had to jack it up about 2" so i gained some more ground clearance which i'm really pumped up. before i had to put some pressure on the spring plate to slide the trailing arm up but it was no problem at all when i put them back on. now i just gotta put my motor back together
