my setup

any advise? the tabs for the link bars are alittle off. on is about 1/2inch closer to the axle.. is it going to hurt it that much? i extended the linkbar to compensate.

personally id suggest cutting the side thats crooked off and redoing it. with the bar adjusted it will get it to look straight but it will cause tracking problems throught the range of motions from the different arcs of the bars. Those tabs are to much if you have to order 2 more to redo it

but would that little of a bit off cause catastrophic failure in anything. i mean i drive and it get no vibration when i let go of the wheel it drive stright. it does not pull or push, when i brake it doesnt vibrate or shake or anything. pinion of perfect? i mean if it was like 2 or 3 inches off i would def get it fixed. but yeah i understand its going to have some changes but if they are minimal and will not really effect anything ya know...

yeah you won't notice the effects of that probably for awhile, but your suspension will always be in a bind
