Howdy All,
Last season @ Bayswater I had an issue with my T4 which I had gotten second hand already setup. My front wheels were scrubbing on the ballcups for the steering and eventually wore through and came off and my truck steered off the track.
I showed a few people at the time and they were unable to tell me why but what I did notice was I had different front steering knuckles/axels. I eventually determined I had inline rather than what most others seemed to have (trailing).
So I changed the trailing axels and had no further issue but I was looking at it today and found this PDF:
http://aedownloads.com/downloads/instructions/9577_inline.axle.pdf
Which shows me the spacer is on opposite sides when you use inline vs. trailing (which makes sense now I realise what the difference between them is). And because of that would have been sitting further forward and thus rubbing on the ballcup.
Just thought I'd mention it in case anyone else inexperienced has a similar issue. :)
