Whats up guys? My back left tire seems to be angled in towards the body every so slightly and I can't figure out why. It is definitely noticable when looking at the truck. I first thought that maybe the tire wasn't seated correctly on the lug....I took the tire off and put it back on but its still angled in. As far as I can tell the upper and lower control arms are not bent, either are the tire rod ends. What is causing my wheel to be deflected in towards the body? When the truck is running you can see the crooked tire whobbling a little bit, it doesn't really affect steering too much though. Please help me out!
 
Hmmmm. Couple of my tires are a lil warped to or seem like it.

but doesn't hinder handling either..
maybe its the inner foam ??
 
is the tire angled in vertically or horizontally? if its angled like its turning ajust your tie rods on the back of the arm, they are ajustable for screwing in and out, this will help. if its angled up and down, i dont know what to tell ya, check your foam in the tires and your glue seal around the rim, sometimes this can get warped about. keep us posted. good luck.
 
if you guys have a SS or RTR 25 you can adjust your neg chamber from the upper arm...

If you have a 21.. then buy the adjustable upper arms
 
I guess you could say that the tire is crooked on the horizontal axis. If you are looking at the tire straight on from the side of the truck it would be the left and right sides of the tire, the left side being pushed in towards the truck. does that make sense? So i can adjust this angle by shortening or lengthening the tire rod end?
 
If you take the tie rods off the back, the tire swivels like its stearable, so you can straighten it out by ajusting the length of your tie rods, this worked for me b4. good luck.
 
THanks bud, I'm going to try that, hopefully that solves my problem. Ill update.
 
Just a tip also.....


If you run the truck in low traction areas, like dirt, toe the rears in just a bit, don't run them perfectly straight. Toeing them in, making the front part of the tire point inward toward the truck will ad foward bite. Running them dead on straight would be great for running on asphalt.
