Wobbly Dog Bone

[sodenmark450]

Good Afternoon (East Coast USA anyhow),

Quick question. I am currently building a 5B SS and it appears one of the dog bones is bent. It tends to wobble a touch. Is this normal? Other is fine and straight. Could a bent dog bone be the problem? Any ideas. Thank you very much for your help.

try an straitening it by laying on a hard flat surface and tapping with a hammer.....if they r to bent it can ruin drive cups and bearings.but a very slight bend is not a problem.....

I had the same problem with mine when I built it. Called HPI and was sent a new pair. Do not use the bent ones the vibration will teat thing up.

i would replace them before running, you can mess up your drive cups and those arnt to fun to replace.
