Front and rear all had a nice bow to them. You're looking at the rear a-arm compared to a brand new one. Cartwheels and a lot of air will do this. And another reason why stock arms are the best option as I can't imagine what an aluminum arm would look like.

'End-O's' aren't very enjoyable to watch!!

If the arms don't get it, the hinge pins, bulkheads and body mounts do anyway!

On my E-Maxx - smaller, obviously - I have the Flextek titanium arms - they DO bend, and back again!
Would cost a bit to develop that for the 5ive-T !!

Thats not from cartwheels. It was the first batch of arms has softer plastic so the shocks would press down and over time they would bend. Snr graphite makes carbon fiber plates that you bolt onto the top of the arms to keep this from happining. I keep my wheels off and put my truck on a stand and this still happend. The snr graphite plates worked on fixing this. I will get a picup soon
 
Thanks for the info. Always good to have another reason to buy something for the cars...

Just looked at the SNR site and didn't see the stiffening plates. I'm probably looking right at them but if anyone wants to assist I'd be appreciative. Thanks
