One more question.....

Post by Sleestak »

So I placed my wheel last night that is pointless. (It doesn't touch the track) I used a tool designed for this but it feels and looks like there is too much left and right on the axel for the tire to slide on. Id guess looks like a 1.5 mm of sliding. Should I trust this tool is smarter than me. It just seems like it should be closer to the car. If it matters Im using oil and all 3 axels bent 2.5 degree. Thanks!!!

Not sure what you are referring, left and right of the axle.
Rears bent 2.5 degrees and front should be minimum 5 degrees.
We bend ours to where it just cleanly can slide through the wheel bore.
