baja rear hub carrier spacer?

[jw32baggs]

ok guys i got sick of always replacing the stock rear hubs so i bought aluminum..i bought the GH rear hubs..my question is they came with spacers..which one should i use?? i do not race..only tear it up in my backyard..the spacers are 1,2,and 3 degree..i tried the 3 degree and it seemed to "push"the wheel outward..shouldnt they be kind of inward?im lost and a newbie..any help would be great...thanks jason

Did you put them in the wrong way if possible. Wheels should be pointed inwards and should be quite noticeable.

spacer

start with the 2's. wheels should point inward. i found 2's were best for me for just bashing around the yard etc.

They should be toed in.... recommended spaces 2-3=5b buggies 3-4=5t trucks

Why would the buggy and truck tow in be different? they're both the same cars less a few bits of body and mounts aren't they?

toe in

good question mike. we'll see what kind of answer turns up

I have those same hubs, but I took the 1* spacer and installed it backwards to get zero toe-in. More fun to drive and doesn't scrub off any power. Also use a 2* anti squat brace.

The truck is heavier by more than 6 1/2 lbs. Maybe that has something to do with it?
