Rampage XB Upper Arms

[bretkissick]

Please someone that knows this car better than me, how is this possible? Both front wheels are perfectly vertical but yet look at the differences in the turn buckle adjustments. I just finished tearing down the entire front end (greased everything) thinking I was going to find the problem but I did not.
Also, one knuckle leans in the other leans out, they are not reversible, very weird but I know there's a reason somewhere for this.

It is your camber adjustment and you need to adjust that by tightening or listening the upper tie rod

Get a caliper to measure your adjustment and compare it to the other side

right now both wheels are perfectly aligned. I can turn the buckle but then the alignment would be way off.
I put a right angle down on the table top and both are perfect as in the pics

Pretty sure I have 2 left or 2 right knuckles. I do know one arm is low and one is high, should not be this way. I'm ordering new knuckles.

Yeah it looks like your left axle stub is pointing upward and your right side downward

You are correct! It's very weird. As it sits in these photos, the wheels are perfectly vertical. If I adjust the longer turn buckle the right wheel is on a very bad angle. Both my knuckles are the same. I do not have a right/left, (they are identical) one arm is high, the other low when connected to the steering. I'll have to attach a pic of that. I did order new knuckles to see if there really is a right and left.

I would try to find a local hobby store that sell the red cat show them the problem. I hope they send you the correct ones .

For anybody interested my problem was the knuckles, both mine were for the right side. I upgraded to aluminum (with the proper right & left knuckle, problem resolved!

Glad you figured it out
