Hi guys I have finally completed my build which I am going to be updating in build section.

I have a few issues as one of the back wheels is bent inwards from the bottom and the other isn't.

The front is not straight as one wheel is out and the car is not going straight. Any ideas please thank you.

The fronts aren’t supposed to be perfectly straight. They are supposed to have toe out for stability and extra turn in.

The rears you can simply adjust the turnbuckle to get the camber neutral.

But the car does not got straight forward is that supposed to be the case and is it supposed to be visibly bent when you look at it.

May be a stupid question whats the camber and how do i adjust it ? ? thank you
 
The rears look fine to me. You can adjust the toe on them. They are fixed with some toe in.
 
Thanks guy going to test it now first time in 2 months been waiting on parts. Got some HR front knuckles coming so I can take these gpm ones out.
 
I noticed on my buddies Kraton there was some pretty severe toe out from the box. How excessive would you guys go with toe out. Its not raced. Just bashed and its mostly ball diamond type stuff.

Its not a perfect from above pic but this:

It's a distorted picture, so judging by the rears the front looks fine ?‍♂️
 
Nothing wrong with the photo... they come with rear wheels with toe in. Because of the hanger block. its internal to make it toe in...someone answer why? They come out of the box this way
 
Remember when looking at an alignment, to do so in driving condition. (I.e with the batteries in, body on, and anything else that might be adding weight to the truck.) Also cycle the suspension to get any pack-down that might happen, so you are looking at it as it might be when driving.

I just posted and complained about my wheels being perfectly straight. My fault fixing it multiple times and not paying attention to toe out.

Looking at alignment? No with a streight edge. And the holes in the hanger mount are about 3-5mm (off) different to keep the a arm jacked forward. There is no dought that is is made this way. I'm asking does anybody know why. Why the factory made it this way. I can't be the only person that has seen this . my guess it will drive better. But seems to me with them jacked forwards it would make the A arms more accessible to breaking them just saying.
